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

   I believe RIPE  it is the only RIR who charges its members the same
amount no matter the resource holder! Other RIRs like APNIC and many other
RIRs:
https://www.apnic.net/get-ip/apnic-membership/how-much-does-it-cost/member-fees-calculator/
have a great and fair solution about resource holders.
If you believe that only you and or RIPE is right then tell other RIRs
should be sued!
