Introduction

The purpose of the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme is to generate sufficient income for the operations of the RIPE NCC in a stable and predictable manner. The Charging Scheme defines the annual fee per LIR charged to members and sets the sign-up fee for new members.

The Charging Scheme model is based on the principle that members should have equal fees for each LIR they hold. This model has no categories and no differences in fees between LIRs: one LIR, one fee.

Based on existing RIPE Policy, the separate charge of EUR 50 per Provider Independent number resource assignment will be continued. Independent Internet number resources are IPv4 and IPv6 PI assignments, Anycasting and IPv6 IXP assignments. Contrary to previous years, AS Numbers are excluded from this separate charge.

Non-members that are currently charged fees for using specific services such as DNSMON and NRTM, as well as Direct Assignment Users, must also become members, paying the same standard fee per LIR as other members. Organisations that wish to support the RIPE NCC or particular activities should also become members.

The sign-up fee for new LIRs will be continued and will remain at EUR 2,000.
