The industry will be going go through a period of change, change as the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses draws nearer. This is reflected by the development of policies and service introductions around this issue, some of which are expected to increase the workload for the RIPE NCC in the coming years.

As a result of this, the budgeted costs for 2010 are 13% 2011 are 6% higher than the budgeted costs for 2009. This is the 2010. This is a result of the increased staff levels and greater operational expenses necessary to support the expected increase in the RIPE NCC's workload. For the particulars, please see: “RIPE “RIPE NCC Activity Plan 2010”. 2011 Link: /publications/docs/ripe-506/ ”.

Expenses per Activity

Overall, expense levels increase in 2010. 2011. For Membership Services, this increase is a result of enhanced registry services, such as Internet Number Resource Certification, and an increased focus on data quality. The substantial increase in expenses for the expected increase in the number of resource requests caused by RIPE policy Proposal 2009-03, Run Out Fairly. In addition, the RIPE NCC will further enhance its data quality and the procedures around its data quality and registration. For 2011, a continuous high level of Coordination Activities is

due to the increased External Relations efforts and increased RIPE meeting expenses.In 2009 substantial investments were made to improve Information Services. For 2010 certain areas continue to be further enhanced but the overall costs planned to cater for all activities surrounding the depletion of the IPv4 address pool.In line with one of the key strategies of the RIPE NCC to further the RIPE NCC as a trusted source of data, the cost

for Information Services will decrease with improvement projects being completed. Previously the table below was shown including miscellaneous expenses, these are costs like Bad Debts and Depreciation that not directly attributable to any activity. Therefore for the Budget 2010 these have been excluded.

is increased in 2011. This increase is caused by the enhancement of the successful RIPE Labs platform and additional efforts will be made to further develop the RIPE Labs community. In 2010, the development of an active measurement network started, and in 2011 this development will continue. In mid-2011, the prototype will be analysed and a decision will be made on whether or not to develop a service from this prototype.
