[members-discuss] RIPE forces us to pay the bill unfairly

Hi.

There isn't a secret that noncommercial organisation earns money and
doesn't want to share it. But it shows that it cares about members trying
to keep IPv4 pool available  for future business so long asit  possible.
But there is market where everyone can buy necessary IPv4 without request
to mantioned organisation.
