[members-discuss] FW: budget 2012

Hello everyone,

The activity plan is almost useless as soon as it doesn't include any
expenses. The biggest part of the so called "plan" is a copy from
previous years' plans and there is no mention why the budget for
executing the plan should be raised and for what needs particularly. The
community is asking for the information for many years and many years
the "plan" exists in the pristine clear from expenses form.

Regards,

Potapov Vladislav

I strongly agree with the motions raised about maintaining a responsible
budget; and perhaps in light of recent developments, we should take a
moment and evaluate some of the projects the RIPE NCC has taken on
itself.

This is why we circulate the activity plan well in advance of setting
the budget and the charging scheme. We typically get no response to the
activity plan at all.

I do take on board Kurtis' comments about making the activity plan more
transparent with regards to costs of individual activities and we will
ask the RIPE NCC to make this clearer.



 

Additionally, and without any disrespect, if any of the Board Members
feel they do not have adequate time to fulfill their duties; they might
wish to vacate their seat in favor of somebody who does.

 

RIPE NCC board/RIPE WG activities take up roughly 2 days per *week* of
my time. I'm lucky to have an employer that is happy with this. However,
as I made clear, this discussion blew up at the time of the month when I
happen to have to spend a couple of days full time on the day job.
Apologies for this.

Nigel
