I second that. The RIPE partecipation for my company, resource wise, is the 
default allocation that was given to me at the time of registration and the 
subsequent allocation exactly as described above.

The work I, as a company, generate for RIPE is minimal but the model A 
substantially increase the annual fee.

I think I, as the others in the same ballpark, should be treated as SMALL (= 
we had only the default allocations, no more than that), and there must be a 
lower category only for who is registered but has no v4 allocation (= is in 
wait list).

THe model A proposed by RIPE instead is elevating the yesterday's SMALL to a 
much higher category in a manner non compatible with the SMALL partecipants 
business models.

the 2022 fee for me was about 1% of my gross income. elevating that is 
profundly unjust when the fee for the large enterprises is a 0.00_1% of their 
gross income. (feel free to add zeros in the place of the '_').
