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

P.S. When and if they screw up or start ignoring I will be the first to call them out on it. But they aren't so let's be fair. This is a member discussion where members have conflicting views. They haven't weighed in either way.

Gert,

In this whole discussion the board hasn't said a single word. They are listening to try and determine what's the way forward. It surprises me that you would outright attack them like this? As someone who chose to step down from that same exact board, I find the accusation that they aren't trying to do what the membership wants, and where aligned, what the community wants, a little hurtful. My experience is that the board has never ignored. 


Fahad.

We do remember. And I should have put up a fight there against the change
regarding the AS numbers, but was feeling too tired.

But anyway, given that the board is obviously feeling free to change
policy-relevant bits of the charging scheme without consulting with the
AP community, I find it even more surprising to read the claim *now* that
they do not want to change this *back*, because it would be affecting
policy...
