I might not be fully up-to-date on our sponsoring process, but as I
understand it, a meeting sponsor pays for a fraction of the direct costs for
a given meeting. Other organizations charge a sponsor a flat amount that is
based on costs that are averaged over multiple meetings. Yes, that means that
sponsors of meetings in cheaper locations subsidize meetings in more
expensive ones, but it also makes it financially irrelevant to the sponsor
which exact meeting they support.
By the way, is there another mailing list for us to move this discussion to?
Does the IAOC have an open list?
You can follow IAOC activity from the minutes at
