Converting to USD to make the comparisons easier, Bronze(~$1.3k), Silver(~$6.5k, Gold(~$13k) and Platinum(~$18.5k) are significantly less than DC10's $2k, $10k, and $20k. Is this by design? (remembering there is a steel level for those that can't afford the bronze threshold.) If not I'd propose the following Euro thresholds, would be similar to DC10 levels: 1.5k bronze 7.5k silver 15k gold 20-25k platinum Please understand I am not wedded to the DC10 thresholds, I just would want to understand if we are changing, the reasons. Looking at it from a sponsor's point of view, raising the donation threshold would raise questions, where lowering it really won't, but might raise questions later if we decide we need to raise them again. I also think that repeat sponsors are prepared to sponsor to the same "level" and will just pay what that price is. So if a bronze sponsor from 2010 paid $2k, charging any less would leave money on the table. Basically I think consistency and predictability to sponsors is a good thing. Obviously the fact that we change currencies for the thresholds doesn't help, but trying our best to do so is all that really can be expected. Thoughts?
