We're considering applying for REN-ISAC Membership. I've only been

Stop considering and do it.

Some folks above me believe that you need to "give" in order to 
"receive". Other than more sensitive data being restricted to
trusted members, can anyone tell me what obligations are required,
or how open the data is to members?

There are different sharing levels with different sharing restrictions.

Share at your leisure but feel free to drink from the fire hose. It is
a prime example of the smaller schools benefiting from the experiences
of the larger schools.

security@ is sort of the "community watch" version...it's good for
putting your question on a billboard but not generally useful for
operational teams - it has a heavy bias towards the policy side (note
the number of armchair lawyers when things like CALEA, HEOA and DMCA
come up).
