[members-discuss] [ncc-announce] [GM] Draft RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025 Proposals

Holders of IPv4 are same as holders of land.

Being member of RIPE mean you have ability to have resources (aka land) 
and vote. (like a being citizenship give only 1 (ONE) vote - doesnt 
matter how much taxes you pay per year!)

But in addition you must pay per resources what you have/own - like a 
land tax.

RIPE NCC is registered in NL, NL is part of EU, so - EU principes must 
be also apply in same way!

So, in EU land taxes usually payed per (sq.m in own OR market price), 
nor per registered object in own.

Moreover, in EU also present tax on selling operations - i.e. if someone 
sell resources (aka land) - its must also pay some fee as % of deal 
price, but RIPE didnt charge for that (what are also unfair).

P.S.
Michael, Im also want to remember you about that -

LU-CIX non-profit organization, but your pricing different from port 
bandwidth (why not same price for all?) - but you calling people about 
"same price" is good for RIPE.
Im really doesnt understand you. Sorry.
