[members-discuss] New pricing proposal - it goes out of control

Hello Everyone,

I'm analyzing the new charging scheme proposed by RIPE NCC.

Adopt the new scheme like that KILL every small hosting provider include 
us. I don't think that's a good idea for RIPE NCC to kill a lot of small 
provider.

It kill net neutrality, and i think a lot of small isp call IANA to 
sanction the RIPE board for that.


In practice, you ask 8000€ / year because a provider  has one ASN ? It's 
mostly mandatory for all members to own at least one.


Why not doing some in between prupose:

More "reasonable" base membership. Small ISP doesn't have to pay mush. 
Let imagine a resource quantity category.

IPv6 only => category 1

< 10 000 IPv4 => category 2

50 000 IPv4 => ....

...

- Extra fee for every PI of 50€

Like that, big isp who can pay for the RIPE work because they extract 
high value from them.

  Also people who sponsor a lot of PI (who generate a lot of work for 
RIPE resource analyst) pay for the employment time.


As a reminder, ARIN use this model.


Best regards,

Sarah
