Hi Randy, A day comparison may be better. Converted to $US RIPE$US NANOG$US 1 Day $92.60 $112.50 Dinner $86.16 $0 ------- ------- Adjusted $110.00 $112.00 I included the dinner since it's a cost since almost everyone goes. Overall, I think the costs are close. RIPE may fund more of this internally though since they receive revenue from RIR allocations. It's hard to do apple for apples vs. RIPE. -M<
