[members-discuss] [ncc-announce] [GM] Consultation on RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2024

Hello,

Nor scheme 1 nor scheme 2 are good and fair. Scheme 2 is litle step in the 
right direction but still far from from what must be.

By IANA public documents delegated resources to RIPE are:

688128    IPV4 /22 blocks
2131972   IPV6 /32 blocks
42882     ASN

By official data RIPE LIRs are 22500

If constant yearly fee for each LIR is 300 euro, and charge 15 EURO for 
each block and ASN the LIRs holds (on /22 IPV4, /32 IPV6, and 1 ASN)

RIPE will collect:

22500 * 300                   =  6 750 000 EURO
(688128+2131972+42882)*15     = 42 944 730 EURO

SUM: 49 694 730 EURO (nearly 50 milions)

Which seems more than enough RIPE to function normally !

On yearly basis RIPE can revisit member taxes depending if are collected 
more or less money and to ask for increase of constant LIR taxes (300 euro)
or to return back money to LIRs (as RIPE done it up to 2021)

That will be fair charging scheme for me. As more resources you hold, as 
bigger your organisation is, as more you have to pay.
