[members-discuss] [comms-circle] Re: Re: Re: [ncc-announce] [GM] Draft RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025 Proposals

Dear Sebastien,

The charging scheme is adopted by the General Meeting upon proposal of the
Executive Board. The Executive Board proposes a charging scheme and is
responsible for the adoption of the budget and the activity plan of the
organisation, so it is their responsibility to propose a charging scheme to
collect the budget for the execution of this activity plan.

For the execution of the activity plan of 2025 the board proposed multiple
options for covering the estimated budget. Contrary to other years, this
time the current charging scheme cannot cover the necessary expenses. It
would be damaging for the organisation to propose a resolution that would
result in maintaining the current charging scheme and thus a much smaller
income. The board has no obligation to put forward a resolution that may
result in maintaining the current charging scheme. It does have an
obligation to put forward resolutions for the benefit of the organisation.

So in short, the proposal would be completely valid.

All the best,

Fergal
