[members-discuss] New Charging Scheme

I agree with the options expressed in this thread.
It doesn't make sense to have XXS and XS categories with smaller than /21
where according to the current rules you can't get anything smaller than /21.
Then I believe that the requirement that PI users must be RIPE NCC members
is big problem.
As an example, we allocated PI space to Italian public administration entities that
cannot be members of anything if there is no law allowing them to do so. In this
case how can they keep their allocation? Then: we won a 36 months contract with
them with strict rules and if we change anything the contract will be cancelled
with a penalty; we could not choose the rules because they are fixed with a law.
In this case, will the RIPE refund us the damages?
What if the public administration sues us for the lost PI allocation damages?
I think that changes that have not only a financial impact but also a
legal one ( like the one forcing an allocation to be made only to a member )
should apply only to new allocations and not to the existing ones.
Otherwise the RIPE will face lots of legal expenses!
