How long have you been a member? Maybe new members are used to this 
playground business from the start and the older members are more sceptic.

This is more of a principal question than a financial one. With all new 
members there is probably room in the budget for a lot of not really 
important things at the same time as the membership fees go down.

But in principle, the Réseaux IP Européens should be about European IP 
resources.

I come to think of the fibre company owned by the Stockholm city 
government. They have monopoly for fibres in town. But some years ago they 
started to pull fibres across the Baltic sea. The question then was not if 
fibres across the Baltic was a good thing, but wether it was the task of 
this company to be in charge. (It was not).

Cheers,

Daniel
