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

Hi Amanda,

>> 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?
> 
> Because we're starting off 'fresh' (with no funds available in the diversity tickets pool to start with), we wanted to use the extra money towards a pool to fund diversity tickets for future meetings as well as help towards other diversity initiatives like on-site childcare. I realise I left this out in the article, apologies for that.
> 
> To clarify, diversitytickets.org does not charge us to list our event.

Great! Glad to hear that.

>> 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...
> 
> We agree :)

In that case: many many thanks for another great initiative! :)
Sander
