Hello! Well RIPE NCC is managing IP address pool because community submits to the authority RIPE NCC has. And the authority has been voluntarily transferred to the NCC by the community itself and it is executed by the community in fact. But if there is a considerable amount of people that disagree with actions taken by RIPE NCC or RIPE as whole what prevents them to pick a random resource and announce it to DFZ? This is the point where all the analogies with water or air fails. Only governments are crazy enough and have enough power to tax air for breathing and rain water. They can eventually tax IP addresses as well. But RIPE NCC can not do that. I do not understand why you want to tax IP address consumption through charging scheme. It should be two different things.
