>1. What is the difference between RIPE and RIPE-NCC ?

RIPE NCC is a membership association.
See http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/about/

RIPE is a "community", which meets
several times a year. It is not incorporated,
thus it has no formal mambership.
See http://www.ripe.net/ripe/about/index.html

>2. What is our membership fee funding (RIPE or RIPE-NCC) ?

The membership fee is paid by the RIPE NCC members.
It funds the activities of the RIPE NCC,
see http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ap2003.html
This covers support for RIPE meetings.
RIPE meetings are not fully self financing,
f.i. staff support is not "charged to" RIPE.

>fees (with respect to the answer to the preceeding questions)

None.
