4,422,000 / 35,000 ~= 126 Euros/ticket.
126 Euros per ticket ? Thats about 2 hours of average/cheap contacting fees. Mad. While I understand as well as anyone that the costs of running an organisation include many many overheads, the bottom line is that the NCC charge 126 Euros per ticket - which as I see it is the primary activity.
It is _part_ of their activity, not the full scope. If you see that as their primary job, I suggest you write up a reasonable proposal of how to cover your needs and present it at the next RIPE meeting. If the community deems it acceptable, that should work out. Stop ranting _please_. I could understand if you were ranting about something which was forced on you by a narrow vote, but you didn't even try, and it _has_ been announced beforehand, with apt time to raise your voice in time. I suggest you prepare better for 2003... Sincerely, Lars Marowsky-Brée -- "I'm extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end." -- Margeret Thatcher
