[lir-wg] 50% increase in RIPE fees ? Since when ?

Sorry, maybe I do not participate quite as much as I would like, but the fee
for a SMALL registry has increased by  more that 50% in a year. I just got
the invoice and had to back track. My budgets are somewhat unbalanced now...

That is somewhat high a jump isn't it ? What is the average EU inflation
figure ? 4% ?

Can someone from the RIPE management comment on how much money is spent on
non-core (IP management, co-ordination and associated registry activities) ?

I cannot make it to RIPE meetings but I would like to ask someone to raise
this issue formally at the next event.

rgds,
