Also with the level of automation that currently exists, and the good working knowledge that most people have of the systems, we could probably considerably reduced the RIPE's staffing levels and save a great deal of money. In times of belt tightening, even "Not for Profit" organisations like the RIPE must make the same cut backs as those that exist to make a profit.

I gather the change is not to increase revenue but rather to change the 
distribution to make it 'fair' and 'easier to understand'. Getting a 
consensus on what that means appears to have 'winners' on one side and 
'losers' on the other.
