Dear Hank,

The Board started an engagement on the charging scheme model with 
members last year. There was a survey and then an Open House to 
discuss the results of the survey and a potential way forward. You can 
see the Open House discussion here:

After that series of engagements, the Board planned to reopen the 
topic ahead of the recent General Meeting and was hoping to propose 
four models based on the feedback they got. You can see what those 
models are in the presentation I gave at the GM last week.

So as you suggest, we do plan to come back to this at a time when all 
members are able to give the topic more attention. And of course 
discussion on this list and an explanation of why people voted against 
a resolution is always very useful for the Board. We pay close 
attention to those discussions.

It has always been difficult to get a clear consensus among members 
about charging. So given the many divergent opinions that we've seen 
so far in the discussions around the charging scheme, a 70% yes vote 
for the 2023 charging scheme model might also be considered to be 
quite a positive outcome, even if there is still plenty of work to be 
done in this area.

Regards,

Ondřej Filip
RIPE NCC Executive Board Treasurer
