The RIPE example contract(1) for the 2007-01 policy indicated there
should be a periodic maintenance fee under section 4.2. At the last RIPE
meeting there were questions asked about the amount that a LIR should
ask for this fee, but no concrete answers were given.

The new (draft) charging scheme indicates an amount of 50eur/year, but
all our new 2007-01 PI space with contracts have a lower maintenance fee
amount. It would have been a lot less complicated if this was discussed
and all clear before the new PI policy 2007-01 was accepted.
