Err... Great idea... or is it? Really, cui bono?

This scheme has been proposed numerous times, IIRC even in this very
discussion. In my perception, Small LIRs will not really profit from it,
as they typically have a small network (1 or 2 allocations, 1 ASN,
X-SMALL category). They'll pay roughly the same because the annual
membership fee will have to be adjusted to account for the losses
accrued by your idea.
Medium LIRs might pay slightly less, I guess... There's probably a sweet
spot somewhere (and I'll assume you calculated it so you're in it ;) ).
Big LIRs however, with their multiple 12's, large AS sets and network
allocations would probably pay drastically less than before. This would
shift the weight off those who massively profit from the resources
administrated by RIPE NCC onto those who take up less resources. I don't
consider this to be very fair.
On the contrary: Those who use up large portions of the address space
should damn well pay large portions of the NCC's bills.

In addition, charging per resource allocation, be it one address or 65K,
looks like "per address" charging to the tax authorities. And this is
specifically what RIPE is looking to avoid.
