Hi! Unfortunately, the increase in IPv6 usage does not lead to the release of IPv4. It is necessary not only to introduce a fee for already issued IPv4 (at least 0.1 cents), but also to charge 1000 times more for newly issued IPv4 addresses (1 euro per year) if they are issued more than the limit (1024 addresses). To reduce the attractiveness of their use. > Hi, > > Our offer is that the proposal can be somehow adjusted to the current LIR > number (about 20’000) based on the fee we had years ago with 15’000 LIR > number. > > We suppose that it is important to support the increase of IPv6 usage, so > it is not reasonable to apply charges for the resources, especially IPv6, > at least at this stage. > Increase of IPv6 usage can change the situation significantly. > > Regards, > Naira > > > From: members-discuss <members-discuss-bounces at ripe.net> On Behalf Of > Cynthia Revström via members-discuss > Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2024 5:42 PM > To: Simon-Jan Haytink <simonjh at ripe.net> > Cc: Members Discuss <members-discuss at ripe.net> > Subject: Re: [members-discuss] [ncc-announce] [GM] Draft RIPE NCC Charging > Scheme 2025 Proposals > > Hi, > > I would just like to say that unlike most others who have commented so far > I'm pretty happy with these proposals for the most part. > > The RIPE NCC has barely increased its fees at all for about a decade > despite a fair amount of inflation during that time. > > I support only offering charging schemes that are sustainable and won't > require digging deep into the reserves.
