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

Hi Simon,

I do not feel that any change needs to be made to the charging scheme 
for RIPE at all.

Please make sure it is very clear that "*NO CHANGE*" is understood as a 
option as well. Too many are confused as if you are giving them an 
ultimatum to pick between the proposed models.
