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.
