Totaly agree with that.

Just one last thing

Model C is the worst of all, it offers to lower the bill by €100. But 
all LIRs have at least one ASN (+50€) or even 2 (+100€).
It's just a sleight of hand which aims to undermine the companies and 
associations offering ASN sponsorship.

Once again, for me there is a real problem. We tax the “small ones” to 
spare the big ones by not touching IPv4.

And in general, this problem has divided the board and the members for 
several years.

The RIPE actually proposed a gradual model last year, but it was 
rejected because it again targeted small LIRs and not large ones. A 
person with 10 /24 paid more than a person with a continuous /16.

The BOARD clearly seems to be burying its head in the sand when we talk 
about a model based on the quantity of IP owned and not on the "quantity 
of resources". On the other hand, the BOARD will not be able to continue 
its somewhat too-vertical management and this burying its head policy 
for long. If the members have the feeling of being ignored a little too 
much, the vote will speak when it is necessary to elect new people or 
accept the discharge of management for its good management.

In my opinion, the fact that the board is proposing a D model in 
accordance with its investment plan (we cannot reduce the cost of such a 
structure in such a short time, we agree) will be a first step towards 
the community.

I would like to point out that these comments only concern me and my 
understanding of the various discussions that I have been following for 
several years.
