Is anyone intending to ask the membership - who after all are expected to pay for this? Most of the members of the NCC never have attended and probably never will attend a RIPE meeting, some doubtlessly because the cost of travel, accomodation, and meeting fee is not worth it for them. Yet they seem to be expected, shortly, to finance a clique of people coming to meet their friends for a beer [1]. In the face of shrinking membership: Will fewer members be expected to pay for more attendees? And, if yes, why? IMO, there should never be a physical RIPE meeting again. -80 has proven to be as useful (or not) as a physical meeting and one way of ensuring equal access is to *not* have two classes of meeting attendants: Those who get sponsored (by the NCC or their employer) and those who'd have to cover the cost from their own pocket or attend virtually. rgds, Sascha Luck [1] the commonest reason given for wanting physical meetings back after CoVID19: "I miss my mates and meeting them for coffee/beer" > >I am happy with the current step! > >Cheers, >Sander >
