[members-discuss] RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025 Open House: Recording and Slides Available

Dear Fergal,

I don’t envy the challenge of the board with this feedback, but I suspect it is wise to listen to it else the platform for new candidates to the board the next 5 years seems to be pretty straightforward and likely to be elected: Cost reductions.

As a side, doesn’t the articles of association allow for membership organized items for AGM to vote on as well?

Best regards,
Martin Millnert

They will decide by 24 April if these will be the final options to vote on at the GM or if they want to make amendments. So essentially the decision on what gets voted on at the GM is made by the Board. You can see the minutes from that meeting here (section 3.3 on the Charging Scheme):
