Subject: [ncc-announce] Proposed Draft Charging Scheme 2010

[Apologies for duplicate emails]

Dear Colleagues,

The RIPE NCC is currently formulating the Draft Charging Scheme 2010. 
The Draft Charging Scheme 2010 will take into account the requirements 
of policy proposal 2007-01, "Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End 
Users from the RIPE NCC", and the discussions that took place at the 
RIPE NCC General Meeting in May 2009 regarding the 2010 Charging Scheme.

The main features of the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 will be:

- As in previous years, there will be five membership categories - Extra 
Small, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large
- The 2010 fee for each membership category will be the same as for 2009
- An algorithm will determine a score that decides what category a 
member belongs to
- The score will be based on Provider Aggregatable (PA) IPv4 and PA IPv6 
allocated over time
- Direct assignments will have a recurring charge per assignment and the 
fee will be EUR 50 per direct assignment

The RIPE NCC will publish the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 at the 
beginning of July 2009. The RIPE NCC Executive Board will then monitor 
discussion and input from the RIPE NCC membership before publishing a 
final version of the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 by 9 September 2009. The 
RIPE NCC membership will vote on this version at the RIPE NCC General 
Meeting on 7 October 2009.

The RIPE NCC notes that this proposal for the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 
is subject to change based on advice from the RIPE NCC's lawyers on tax 
and legal issues.

Membership discussion of the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 proposal can 
take place at <members-discuss at ripe.net>.

Best regards,

Axel Pawlik
Managing Director
RIPE NCC
