This seems to be a typical smaller company LIR setup like (hopefully) many 
still existing.

We fully support the whole statement too. 

and:
If RIPE want's to succeed and survive as a truely independent, non-gov non-
commercial organisation for a broad internet community, then rising the 
financial entry hurds leads to the exact opposite.

After some years of probably unexpected high cash flows every organisation and 
company tends to collect "bacon fat" which get's in the way when normal times 
return.


many thanks.
