[members-discuss] [ncc-announce] [GM] Draft RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2016

Hi Fahad,

> Understood ‎but it was also dropped until the NCC came up with a charging scheme and announced it just now. If it was an issue it should have been continued and a formal move to include it for discussion and a vote at the next GM be made by the membership. That hasn't happened. I feel introducing it now is a bit unfair if the expectation is for the board to revise the current proposed charging scheme and present additional options immediately.

Ok, I think there is some confusion here. The issue wasn't dropped, it was waiting on the draft charging scheme to be sent out for discussion, which Nigel has done yesterday...

> However, if it IS an issue, I say propose to add it to next GM for the next-next charging scheme if a vote passes.

No, we just got asked by the board to discuss this draft now until the first of April.

> And please accept the proposed next charging scheme as is. Because to be honest, I would like to see the board turn their immediate attention to other issues that are a bit more relevant than extra revenue to the community and the membership.

I don't really care about extra revenue. The cost for an ASN can be one cent. It's just that I want to discuss the lost garbage collection feature that we used to have but got removed. Nick Hilliard brought it up for discussion last AGM and it was agreed to discuss it now.

> [...] All am saying is: give the board guidance through formal means and time to implement. [...]

I fully agree, and we're right in the middle of that now ☺

Cheers!
Sander
