[members-discuss] [Ticket#2012071701001001] Proposal for New RIPE NCC Charging Scheme Model

Dear Tomas,

> I do not understand why you want to tax IP address consumption through
charging scheme. It should be two different things.

They depend on each other. If we change charging scheme and payment will
depend from count of IPs  then RIPE can't be non profit organisation. 

On the other hand, I can't understund why RIPE charges per PI/AS right now? In
my opinion this is risky way for non profit organisation too.

 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.

 RIPE is managing a public resource, and usage should be fair and
available to all.

Who is using a lot of a resources which are rare and exausted should pay
accordingly, as he/she is using a public resource and others are denied
this usage because of him. So the community should have a gain from this
concession.

So, very simply, IPs are like water, air: a PUBLIC resource!!!!!
