[members-discuss] New Charging Scheme

Hello, Marian

I think TrustHost just gave an example. If there are charging scheme based 
on resources the LIR needs, the fees will be different. For example if we 
took all incomes from membership for 2018 and all nets allocated for RIPE 
region...

(SUM amount of money for 2018 collected from membership anual fees) / 
(All /22 nets allocated for RIPE region) = fee for one /22

So the fee for 10 x /22 will be much less than 14000 EURO per year as it 
is now if you have 10 opened LIRs.

Also if RIPE managing freed resources, dedicating new such ro your 
bussiness needs will be much faster I beleave.
