Activity Plan and Budget 2024 Published

The final version of the Activity Plan and Budget 2024 has been published after approval by the Board and input from the membership. The document outlines the work we will undertake in the coming year, the associated costs for each activity and the executive summary provides an overview of activities for 2024.

Key points in the 2024 Activity Plan and Budget:
- 1.8M EUR budget decrease overall compared to 2023
- We expect to start 2024 with 21,500 LIR accounts
- The Membership fee remains unchanged in 2024 at EUR 1,550
- Cost per LIR expected to be EUR 1,777 (1% increase)

A section at the end of the document notes changes since the draft was published in October. The most significant change is the addition of 200 kEUR to the budget for national outreach, decided by the Executive Board during its December meeting, following feedback from members during the RIPE Meeting and at the November 2023 General Meeting on the negative impact removing this funding could have on the community. All budget figures have been updated accordingly.

Other changes include includes minor editorial changes, minor rounding changes and additional information on the following topics:

• Decommissioning of the IPv4 Transfer Listing Service
• Planned consultation on retiring the Secondary DNS service to LIRs
• RIPEstat UI
• Planned consultation on establishing a Mastodon instance
• Clarified our share of the NRO ICANN contribution for IANA number functions
