Hi all,
We would like to include an option under our Diversity Sponsor category
for organisations or individuals to fund Diversity Tickets.
The number of tickets available will depend on the number of sponsors
and the amount they fund.
The selection is done by diversitytickets.org based on the following
criteria they use:
"This diversity program is aimed to help underrepresented groups in tech
to attend and lowering the barriers for them. This includes but isn’t
limited to: women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, and disabled
people. Your privacy, details and answers will only be shared with the
organizers of RIPE 78. We will not share any data with those who sponsor
these tickets."
We will cover the cost of the ticket and reimburse them EUR 650 to help
with their travel/accommodation costs.
I am asking the organisers if we can amend the criteria text above to
say "This includes but isn't limited to women, people of colour,
LGBTQIA+ people, disabled people and people coming from countries
underrepresented at RIPE Meetings."
If anyone has any feedback, please let me know (sooner rather than later).
Warm regards,
Amanda
