Sure but we are talking about 10 mEUR. I don't know the earnings but if 
we say they will have 50k/year + double costs for taxes/insurance/etc. 
one person will cost 100k/year. So we can speak about 100 workers. Is it 
true ??

For my mind it is important to know because often the "lower 
professional" will earn 25k/year and some "manager/positions" will earn 
250k/year. Maybe it is more transparency but better to know which scheme 
RIPE NCC will have for their staff ;)

You can be sure the "virtual global problems" will still be with us for 
many years up to any goverments will do a lot of things but I guess it 
will never be done.
