Hard to confront facts with misinformation :)

Facts remain:
- The charging scheme has always been based on  resource usage without affecting the non-profit status
- A lot of people thinks that the way to go should be to base it MORE on the resource usage
- The current proposal goes in the opposite direction, will make small LIRs pay more and large LIRs pay even less
- The tax thing is misinformation and is being used as an excuse.

Is there a way in RIPE rules so that a group of LIRs  can prepare a different proposal and ask for it to be voted upon ?
