[members-discuss] [ncc-announce] [GM] RIPE NCC Annual Report 2017 and Proposed RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2019

Hello,

Gerg, please don't move away point of main question.
All those things should be discussed separately.

Question stands about membership fees as well.
Usually when people ask such questions they get answers like ripe
community desired so, or they didn't discuss any other way and didn't
choose it.

But each year amount of LIRs is growing. But annual membership fees are
stays the same (of course they talk about surplus redistribution, but it
almost same).

I support the question that RIPE NCC expenses are not clear for
community. It's not clear and not open how much NCC pays for services,
hardware, data-centers, staff.

I suggest that financial reports should be more open.
Main expenses should be agreed with members.

Fiscal expenses must be justified and agreed with the members.
The IT community knows the cost of IT infrastructure.
And the membership self-cost should stand for needed expenses.
