[members-discuss] New charging model

Hi Lu,

> Just a quick common, these 0.0XXX% of member represent of 99.XX% resource usage,correct me if I am wrong.

I'm not sure what the actual resource usage is by them, but will the number of v4 still matter post v4 depletion and everyone needs to go to v6 ?

Would they also use actual RIPE NCC resources (personnel) at the same rate ? That is a much more interesting question imho, FTE usage will be a much bigger factor to count towards.
The changes are, that the smaller LIR's (due to in-experience) take much longer to obtain additional assignments / allocations than larger (seasoned LIR's).
I know a couple LIR's (probably medium ranked currently) which received a /19 or /18 between 2002 and 2005 and are still using that same prefix and haven't been back to the hostmasters since.

Resource usages (in IP addresses) doesn't say much imho as it doesn't give a real indication on actual FTE usage in the RIPE office or the services used.
