Hi Alex,

Is this really a solution??? I am quite convinced that this will also 
stop _a lot_ of legitimate companies from becoming LIRs.. RIPE region 
covers area with very different economical landscapes. €20,000 (or even 
€30,000) is not a small sum for a start-up in the "rich" side of the 
region, at the same time it is very prohibitive sum not only for 
start-up on the "not so rich" side.

Just my 2c.
