[members-discuss] RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025 Open House: Recording and Slides Available

Why must the fee increase?

Why does everyone always assume that things must get more expensive. Why 
can't we ask the very simple question.

"What can we do to reduce RIPE's budget?"

It's a very simple question, how many services do you actually use from 
RIPE? Do you take advantage of all of the extra features? Do we even 
need those features?
