I totally agree. If we look at the Draft Activity Plan and Budget 2023
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2022/documentation-and-archive/draft-ripe-ncc-activity-plan-and-budget-2023
Right in the summary it’s written “Other factors affecting our budget
include high inflation and costs related to major projects planned for
2023, especially our planned migration of some services to the cloud”
So, if the budget is scarce, why continue such project in the first
place?

With that being the first justification of the budget, it’s not
sufficient to increase the members participation for me.
