    11Thanks for looking at sponsor visibility. I guess these decisions are coming out of a meeting somewhere :P
     2> Do not show bronze sponsors on website footer
    23
    34My own feedback (note I am a bronze sponsor):
    … …  
    56- Rather than avoiding showing bronze sponsors - it would be great to adjust the frequency based on sponsorship level.
    67
    7 - For the About OSGeo pages I guess the goal is to highlight the higher level sponsors more often? I still thing a frequency based approach is "fair" here.
     8> I do not understand why Diamond (highest level) gets less than Platinum on these lines
    89
    9 - I note that projects have been confused/upset when printing or viewing project pages and seeing sponsors having greater visibility then the core contributors. The answer is *you are welcome to sponsor as that is a marketing activity trading visibility for money*.
     10This appears to be a mistake:
    1011
    1112- Diamond gets less than Platinum - huh? https://www.osgeo.org/about/how-to-become-a-sponsor/ has size Diamond 500x500 and Platinum 400x400 ?
    … …  
    1415- press release format (any official communication from the board) should have a blurb "about osgeo"
    1516
     17>  there is a section "About OSGeo" that has 11 pages and a page within that section is "About OSGeo", my doubt here is it on the 11 pages or only on the "About OSGeo" page:
     18
     19I do not understand this change?
     20
     21- For the About OSGeo pages there could be a wish to highlight the higher level sponsors more often? I still think a frequency based approach is "fair" here then removing bronze level sponsors completely.
     22
     23- I note that projects have been confused/upset when printing or viewing project pages and seeing sponsors having greater visibility then the core contributors.
     24
     25- I believe that removing sponsors from one section will invite he request to remove sponsors from another section. I believe the correct response to these requests: *you are welcome to sponsor as that is a marketing activity trading visibility for money*.
     26
     27I wonder if this "about osgeo" perk is a misunderstanding?
     28
    1629The press release format often says "About OSGeo" at the end; mentioning sponsors as part of this blurb is a good perk as that is picked up when publishing a press release via a news service.

     35> Some categories mentions about blog posts where are they?

    2237There also is a blog post introducing sponsors when they make their financial commitment.
