[ripe-list] New for RIPE 78: Diversity Tickets!

Hi Amanda,

> A diverse RIPE community is a strong RIPE community. For RIPE 78, we're now offering a way for you or your organisation to sponsor a "diversity ticket" to help bring someone from an underrepresented part of the community to the meeting.
> 
> This is an easy and effective way to pay-it-forward and embrace the next generation of the RIPE community.

Sounds like a good thing.

However: "For each EUR 1,500 sponsored, a recipient of a diversity ticket will get one full-week RIPE Meeting ticket (value EUR 350) plus EUR 650 towards travel and accommodation". So, where does the other 33% of the money go?

I feel it's wrong for the NCC to keep that money as sponsorship income instead of using it to make more diversity tickets available...

This should be about sponsoring diversity, not sponsoring the NCC.

Cheers,
Sander
