[members-discuss] New Charging Scheme

Pro or anti ipv6, it is surely not the job of RIPE to force its members to do anything they do not want to do by punative pricing. The job of RIPE is to serve its members.

I would also prefer a Flatfee for every RIPE member including all services without any "discrimination" (like PI assignment fee, extra pricing for additional ASN, ...) in combination with a price per IPv4 address for LIRs holding more than /12 addresses.

As extra large members control the core Internet infrastructure and do profit in a large scale from the current infrastructure these companies should have a strong motivation on putting forward the IPv6 deployment.

The current charging scheme results in the opposite in my opinion: Large and extra large RIPE members currently do not seem to have any motivation to move forward to IPv6 as they currently benefit the most from the sneaking shortage of IPv4 resources on holding most of these (resources and reserves) by now.
40k or 0,00236...€ per IP (wiwi proposal) are less than peanuts for extra large companies.

0,02-0,05€ per IP for extra large members sounds more reasonable for me and should lead to a strong step toward IPv6, soon.
The funds of this charge for extra large IPv4 resource holders could be spend purposive on IPv6 deployment.
