[members-discuss] [ripe-list] New RIPE Labs Article - Building a stable future for the RIPE NCC

Hi,
The topic is definitely for members-discuss, not for ripe-list, so I'll continue in m-d.


> 1) RIPE need to make some reserve funds for compensate some looses due sanctions, banking troubles and etc... for example 5% of total budget.

That's far away from the reality. As far as I remember, the target was about 100% of the budget, so the association could survive 1 to 2 years without any funding. The current status of the reserves is 80%+ of the budget.

> 2) Change Charging Scheme from LIR based to Resource based and spare RIPE budget spending in equal parts. Big LIRs with large amount of resouces - will be pay more (in equal share), LIRs with small amount of resources - will be pay less (in equal share).

Paying more than others usually means having more rights. Should the top payers benefit more from their membership?
