That does not appear to be consistent with government spending in the post-9-11 era.
It would seem **more likely** that RIPE would have a budget 10 times the current budget

Note: The new plan calls for the same architecture used with IPv8 and IPv16,
whereby, users do not have direct access to the (out-of-band) IPv16 network.
