RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2024

Introduction

The Charging Scheme model is based on the principle that members pay an annual contribution (service fee) per Local Internet Registry (LIR) account. Members also pay additional fees for independent and Legacy Internet Resources, as defined in this document. New members or additional LIR account registrations also pay an additional one-time sign-up fee alongside their annual contribution.

Every year, members can decide to vote at the GM to return excess paid fees, or the shortage of fees, via a redistribution to the membership.

RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2024

For 2024, the annual contribution per LIR account will remain at EUR 1,550.

The separate charge of EUR 50 per independent Internet number resource assignment will be continued. Resources falling under this charge are IPv4 and IPv6 PI assignments; Anycast assignments; IPv4 and IPv6 IXP assignments; and Legacy IPv4 resource registrations through a sponsoring LIR.

Billing and Invoicing

The independent Internet number resource information for members will be determined based on data gathered on 31 December 2023. Invoices will be sent in the first quarter of 2024.

Legacy Internet Resource Holder Fees

The fee for Legacy Internet Resource Holders that engage in a direct agreement with the RIPE NCC is identical to the annual fee per LIR account for this year. There is no sign-up fee for Legacy Internet Resource Holders that conclude a separate direct agreement with the RIPE NCC. There is no sign-up fee for Legacy Internet Resource Holders that become members and do not request any additional Internet number resources from the RIPE NCC. If a Legacy Internet Resource Holder requests additional Internet number resources, subject to RIPE policy, after becoming a member, the sign-up fee will be charged at this later stage, and in a way identical to that in which the membership sign-up fee is charged.
