Nigel,
Yes, LIR can charge the end user for this service, but the artificial
"protection" measures have led to strange "side effects", which I'll try
to explain in the real numbers of one of the LIRs I administer:
What the LIR has:
PA: 1x /19
AS: 1
Client PI: 1x /23
Client AS: 1
As you can see - nothing special and abusive? But let's think about that
once more:
- according to the PA allocation and LIRs ASN I'd pay in 2012:
Category=M, >20 but <=19 IPv4, >8 but <=16 ASN = 2000 euro + 50 euro (1
ASN)= 2050 euro
- serving the client's resources in addition:
Category=L, >19 but <=16 IPv4, >16 but <=32 ASN = 3000 euro + 150 euro
(2 ASN + PI)= 3150 euro
So the "protective measures" costs the LIR legally serving only [1 PI
assignment with ASN] additional 1100 euro or 550 euro for a "independent
resource". Is it fair? How could the LIR count how much the client
should pay for the resources if every year RIPE NCC invents new charging
scheme with such huge deviations?

IF (I pointed out once more - IF) the scheme should be voted - it MUST
have some "independent resources margin" like it has about ASNs, but not
pile up all addresses chunks.

I should clarify my position about the three supporting documents listed
in the GM 2011 agenda.
- I'm not against rising budget, but the rise should be clearly
explained. In this case the Activity Plan should have all the necessary
cost values, the Budget - clear explanation what the additional expenses
will go, Charging Scheme should be stable to be able to predict LIRs
expenses. (Side note: if a company due to a very good business plan has
unnecessary 1k-2k euro to pay for bad work of financial department of
RIPE NCC, it could as well send the money to me - I'm very welcomed this
motion. :) ).
- The proposed Charging Scheme has not achieved declared goal -
simplicity and in my opinion became even more tough to understand and
have many dishonest issues. Then for the 2012 the Charging Scheme should
be saved from 2011.

Regards,
Vladislav Potapov
