This was one of the core problems of 2007-01 - the APWG can not decide
on the charging scheme.  We can discuss things (which we did, here and
in the meetings), but in the end, the charging scheme is decided by the
RIPE members AGM - and it's one of the few things where we actually 
decide by *vote* in RIPE land.

Every RIPE member receives the invitations to the AGM, and the invitation
contained the draft of the to-be-installed charging scheme.  It was sent
out well in advance, and there is an option to give proxy votes to other
LIRs if you can't attend yourself.

The majority of the LIRs that attended the meeting (or sent proxy votes)
voted for the acceptance of the new charging scheme.
