<div dir="ltr"><div>The plan I envision is quite simple, move from the current Flatrate charging scheme to a system that charges members an amount for the resources they are using. This will ensure that each and every RIPE NCC member will pay their fair share.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>1. Charge per allocated IPv4 address with a linear system.</div><div><br></div><div>price_per_ipv4 = required_budget / amount_of_addresses_in_use</div><div>your_yearly_membership_fee = amount_of_ipv4_you_use * price_per_ipv4</div><div><br></div><div>This will also apply to Provider Independent(PI) assignemnts, anycasting assignments and Legacy Internet Resources registered via a sponsoring Local Internet Registry(LIR).</div><div><br></div><div>IPv6 PI assignments and IPv6 IXP assigments will remain unchanged at 50,-- Euros per year.</div><div><br></div><div>If we ever reach a point where IPv4 becomes obsolete revert back to a Flatrate System as due to the nature of IPv6 a Flatrate system is a fair choice.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>2. Increase the Setup Fee to an amount that reflects the current reality of the transfer market, 6.000,-- Euros.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>3. Introduce an Inter-RIR Transfer Fee for resources that leave the RIPE Region so people don't flee with their resources into a cheaper Region, 3,-- Euros per IPv4 address.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>4. Buy Back IPv4 resources and return them to the free pool with any excess money from members that are willing to give back resources.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>
