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

I am equally concerned of the rise in fees (although I have been aware it
was coming) which I don't see as bringing me anything more value. However,
other than mentioning it on the survey that recently took place, I haven't
had the time to get involved in more detail with RIPE. It looks like I
will have to in future.
