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

Hi people,

I´m one of those new and small LIRs. For a while I´m reading this discussion
and I can´t understand some arguments here. It seems that this is really
just about shrinking fees for a membership. I can understand that point in
some way since all members pay the same although old LIRs may have
extraordinary higher allocations than a simple /22. But well, first come,
first served. 

Though you should consider that an own /22 allocation as LIR still brings
advantages compared to renting a /22 from any other LIR. It is still cheaper
and I consider the signup fee as an investment. Further those IPs are "your"
IPs, you can bring/route them to wherever you want.

Further don´t forget that you still get a big IPv6 allocation which will
most likely cover all needs in future as IPv6 will be our standard someday.
And even for small LIRs like me those prices are affordable. Honestly, I
don´t have a deep insight into the organsation but I don´t see any problems
in how it currently works in my perspective. Never change a running system
;)

Greetings,
Thomas

we are nothing. Many are mistakenly think, that in these regions the service
will be bad. Nobody to talk about move all RINE NCC, let's do few steps
towards each other and crete new eg technical/support/developer office in
CIS/Arab region. Everything is discussed.
