EverythingOpen 2023 is auspiced by LA, in exactly the same way that LCA and other LA events have been in the past. As Russell S has pointed out, one of the primary questions when evaluating event proposals is that the event is expected to at least break even. LA auspices the event by providing seed money to cover large upfront costs which are often associated with events, banking and accounting infrastructure, public liability insurance and other support structures as outlined in the Subcommittee Policy[1]. This is not monetary sponsorship (at least not in the traditional sense): the expectation is that any funds advanced to the event's subcommittee will be returned to LA. The full details of the arrangements applicable to Event Subcommittees is found in LA's Subcommittee Policy[1]. There is perhaps merit in considering the way that "run" has been used in place of "auspice" in the past and present. I expect that for some, "run" is clearer as it's a term they are familiar with, while others would prefer the more specific "auspice".
