[members-discuss] Membership Fee Question

Hello Eric,

Thanks,

I also checked it;

https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/payment/previous-billing-information-and-fees/billing-procedure-and-fee-schedule-for-lirs-2013

When we signed up for this entity in 2013, it was called service fee, now it’s called membership fee.

Services ripe provide to us did not change, however wording is changed.

I appreciate you share your thoughts in nice and polite way.

Hello,

It's because you are not paying for a service, but for a membership.

Subject: [members-discuss] Membership Fee Question

Hello,

I would like to ask you about the membership fee costs of RIPE, today I
learned something new.
Maybe it was something common and I was not aware of it.

As a member, you need to pay the full amount for the annual year 2020, if
you just use the services for 10 days and terminate your membership with
Ripe, so if you use services for 10 or 365 days you will be charged the same
amount.

I asked if it is possible to make it at least Q based, but this is not an
option, 6 months based, not an option.

You need to pay full year and it is not based on the number of days or (Q
based) you are a member of RIPE in the year.

Interesting information for me, I do not think its fair, but everybody could
think differently. I would like to get your opinions about it.

Is it fair to charge a member, who will not be a member in Q2 + Q3 + Q4 for
the annual year?

Kind Regards,

A.V.
