 I 100%. Agree.
RIPE has taken the path of all bureaucratic organizations, that end up working for the good of the bureaucrats and not for that of the users, and its budget is going out of control.

Always with the same thing.

WHY must the fee's go up? WHY is the equivalent to an internet phone book listing SO expensive?
If we drop several thousand LIR's then should RIPE not downsize, it's obviously serving less members and should have far much less work to do!

It's just like any business, if you have 25,000 clients you can afford to have 100 staff.

If within 5 years you now have 15,000 clients, you should have 75 staff, not raise your prices because you are afraid to fire staff. RIPE is a member driven organization and it should accurately reflect the will of it's members and as a member I say NO to changing the fee structure and that RIPE needs to tighten its belt like everyone else. If membership is shrinking then RIPE needs to shrink along side it!

If RIPE shrinks so much as you claim, HOW can you justify such a huge budget!

Let's not forget, if you want the 'whales' to pay significantly more than you, trust me, they will make sure their voice is heard far more than yours. After all if you pay 1,000, and I pay 100,000 , why should your opinion matter to me? We are no longer equal are we?
