How can this be abused? Ok, you can create X committees and become a

If you do it "no strings attached" (like some conferences do for their
speakers) you can end up with very poor output (the bare minimum talk
to fill 30 minutes...). BTST.
OTOH this proposal looks good to me. If someone is willing to dedicate
his time to the WG, and the WG honours that, and he cannot do this due
to financial constraints - having the NCC sponsor this, with the strings
attached "your affiliation is not visible anymore" is a good thing.
Of course, in this case affiliation on the badge is not $company, but
something related to RIPE work.

(Which helps WG chairs in their internal corp discussions - "why do we
need to pay for your meetings? a WG chair should have this for free?" -
"yes, I can ask for it, but then $companyname would not be visible on
the introduction slides, is that OK for you?" - "what, no, please book
on the company account" :-) )
