The total amount is actually not what Sander and I are upset about.

It's really about the inherent conflict between the RIPE NCC being
tasked to implement community policy and at the same time being paid
by commercial members, which might have a different view on priorities,
and the NCC board being caught in between.  

(And to a certain part, frustration with the actual community that always
needs financial incentives to do the right thing, namely: return unused
resources, like AS numbers)
