It's a small point, but clearly if I paid $30k I get to choose my level?
I think these levels should primarily have a published level, like:
Steel: $2000
Bronze: $5000
Silver: $15000
Gold: $30000
Platinum: $50000
or maybe those last three are $10k, $25k, $40k or $10k, $20k, $35k
Then the ranges that are listed are the 'negotiating room' which is
available. We can recognise that a poorer company (or a local one) who
is being a good citizen by sponsoring DebConf can get a Bronze
sponsorship for $3000 (e.g), etc.
Cheers,
Andrew.
