[members-discuss] New Charging Scheme

Hello,

sorry but that type of billing is totally nonsense. You obvisously
never calculated this with real data. Let me do it for you:

According to
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/stats/delegated-ripencc-extended-latest
RIPE currently assigned 817101048 IP addresses for real-use (excluding
reserved and free etc.).
That equals to roughly 3191800 /24's. There are currently 20806 LIR's (
https://labs.ripe.net/statistics/number-of-lirs), if each one is
getting a /22 free, that means we have to deduct 83224 /24's from above
figure. That makes it 3108576 /24's which should be billed (according
to you).
3108576*350 = 1.088.001.600,00 Euros. Yes, thats 1 billion euros.
RIPE's budget for 2018 was (projected) to be 26 million euros:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-693

As you can see this is utterly nonsense. As you might know, any surplus
the RIPE NCC generates (at the end of the fiscal year) will be re-
distributed to the members as RIPE is a association and not a company
in regular terms.

Or are you trying to actually get paid from RIPE for using little count
of IPv4 addresses?

Anything that is money related will *not* help to get IPv4 back or
solve this with the current form of membership and RIPE. There are
plenty of other ways (some of which have been proposed here) that are a
much better idea (migrating to IPv6 being the ultimate one).
