[members-discuss] [comms-circle] Re: [ncc-announce] [GM] Executive Board Meeting to Discuss Charging Scheme Input from Members

Hi,

do you know, how many members took part to the votes? If you compare to the participation generally, it is a big part. And of course it is a reaction of the members, many members.

And the Sponsoring LIR is not a option.

If you followed the complete discussion, there are reasonable critic of many members..

In anyway, if the small resource holder, whereas they are about more than 60% of actual members, make consolidation or move to other options, the problem will again occur for remaining members and the board will try to ensure the budget...

So we will have discussion again. And we don’t have this discussion in this year only. For years there is no solution for this problem and the 700 people showed their reaction in different contexts.  


"Or just quit being a member if you feel it is not worth it. Sponsoring LIRs are available to you." By the way, this is not your decision I think.. This is not a private family company...


If I were someone who owns for example /15 subnet, of course I would prefer to have the offered proposals because the others with only /24 or /23 subnet pay for my resources also...

No it is not a large potion. There are roughly 20000 members, you’re talking about 3.5%. I know it is in vogue right now to just demand things, reality, law and facts be damned. Still:

The RIPE NCC needs the budget to keep operating. You can’t just suddenly pull funding because you feel like it. If you want a change (I don’t), go through the available options, the board members explained multiple times what these are and that they’re listening to your complaints. Maintaining the old charging scheme is not one of the available options. So it would be nice if people would accept the reality of the situation instead of repeating the same points ad nauseam.

Or just quit being a member if you feel it is not worth it. Sponsoring LIRs are available to you.


Regards

Sebastian
