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

The plan I envision is quite simple, move from the current Flatrate
charging scheme to a system that charges members an amount for the
resources they are using. This will ensure that each and every RIPE NCC
member will pay their fair share.


1. Charge per allocated IPv4 address with a linear system.

price_per_ipv4 = required_budget / amount_of_addresses_in_use
your_yearly_membership_fee = amount_of_ipv4_you_use * price_per_ipv4

This will also apply to Provider Independent(PI) assignemnts, anycasting
assignments and Legacy Internet Resources registered via a sponsoring Local
Internet Registry(LIR).

IPv6 PI assignments and IPv6 IXP assigments will remain unchanged at 50,--
Euros per year.

If we ever reach a point where IPv4 becomes obsolete revert back to a
Flatrate System as due to the nature of IPv6 a Flatrate system is a fair
choice.


2. Increase the Setup Fee to an amount that reflects the current reality of
the transfer market, 6.000,-- Euros.


3. Introduce an Inter-RIR Transfer Fee for resources that leave the RIPE
Region so people don't flee with their resources into a cheaper Region,
3,-- Euros per IPv4 address.


4. Buy Back IPv4 resources and return them to the free pool with any excess
money from members that are willing to give back resources.


Kind Regards,
Stefan Prager
