Hello again, I think i found it -- you were right! https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2019/stenography-transcripts "So, now is the number too big or either doing one or the other, we thought it would be an awesome idea if we split it and offer the compromise of the 50:50 chance. This is the part that got confusing unfortunately. You will see then in the presentation the exact numbers and what they mean and one big part which we looked at, if we do 50:50 the amount of money we give back is roughly in the order of what we did in the last years, so what you have expected and kind of got accustomed to. In the 50:50 example it is pretty much the same amount of money. But I'll leave the rest for Gwen, otherwise I'll steal all other slides. But of that the rationale for having three options." However if we see the referenced slides, on slide 6 the values are 528 EUR in 2018 vs. a projected 296 EUR (with 50% for 2019). 296 is around 56% of 528 -- that doesn't really seem "roughly in the order of what we did in the last years" to me...
