There are tons of options here but the main points illustrated above:

Type of payout (revshare, pps)
The Lead or Join ID of the new member
The campaign
And the ability for affiliates to pass over custom arguments (their site's user_id, perhaps a sub_affiliate_id if they're a network, etc...)
This type of system is pretty commonplace in mainstream and allows affiliates not to have to use some specialized 3rd party software just to munge their stats together across sponsors.
