Document ID: ripe-427
Date: December 2007
Updates: ripe-397
The budgeted costs for 2008 are 11% higher than the budgeted
costs for 2007. This is mainly a result of the increased
staff levels necessary to support Internet Number Resource
Certification, to improve data accuracy, to enable the
RIPE NCC to expand its Membership Services and External
Relations as well as to improve its Information Services.

Expenses
For the year 2008 the RIPE NCC has used a different methodology
to estimate its expenses per activity. While in previous
years this division was based on the FTEs per department,
for the budget of 2008 the RIPE NCC has used an Activity
Based Costing model. This revised model gives a better
reflection of the division of the RIPE NCC activities.
Aside from the changes due to the new budgeting model,
the following items had an impact on the expenses for the
Co-ordination Activities category: increased coordination
between the RIRs, additional RIPE meeting costs and External
Relations activities.
