Charging for allocations

Folks,

I know that some local registries are actually charging for registrations
although they do not discuss this publicly since doing it is frowned
upon by the RIPE community and especially by those providing free last-resort
registry services.

I think it is time to discuss this issue openly and come to a consensus
on how to handle this which will be written up as a RIPE recommendation.

Some input for a discussion can be found in:
