Nigel, thanks for bringing this in as a voting item on the agenda.  I
believe this to be the best way to resolve the issue in the long term.

There are ~27000 asns assigned by the RIPE NCC.  Assuming a €50 annual
charge, this will raise additional revenue of approx. €1.3m or around €120
per LIR.

If the NCC membership votes in favour of a charge for ASNs, could you
clarify whether this additional revenue will be:

1. used to drop the 2016 LIR charge from €1400 to around the €1300 mark,

2. retained as a surplus by the RIPE NCC,

3. returned to the membership by way of a future credit, as outlined in the
last GM, or

4. something else.

thanks,

Nick
