[members-discuss] Input from Membership on RIPE NCC Charging Scheme Model

I'm exactly the same opinion as Daniel!

 

If you shift the burden of cost from where it is effectively 'equal' based
on per LIR, to based on IP consumption. Small LIR's with say just the single
/22 would be paying a couple hundred euro per year. RIPE is not a for-profit
business. It is there to provide services, and cover the costs of those
services which in the whole grand scheme of things is a big fat phone book
of who has what IP space. Nothing more, nothing less.

I agree with Lu and I think everyone is missing the point and Lu made a very
valid post. 

If you shift the burden of cost from where it is effectively 'equal' based
on per LIR, to based on IP consumption. Small LIR's with say just the single
/22 would be paying a couple hundred euro per year. RIPE is not a for-profit
business. It is there to provide services, and cover the costs of those
services which in the whole grand scheme of things is a big fat phone book
of who has what IP space. Nothing more, nothing less. You can't expect RIPE,
ARIN or any other RIR to try and use money as a leverage point to force
IPV6, they just don't have that kind of power. Do you really believe that if
they tried something like that, they wouldn't be sued into the stoneage? Why
do you think legacy IP space still exists, because contracts had been formed
and signed giving ownership of those blocks to the purchaser prior to the
RIR's existence and the RIR's don't have a legal leg to stand on to get that
back. 

Everyone just needs to keep in mind what a RIR really is, respect that, and
go on with life, and not try and make it something it isn't or can't become.
