    <p>Hello all,</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>I just checked Alexis's spreadsheet.</p>
    <p>If I'm sorting it by IPv4 block numbers I'm the 5th biggest with
      233 blocks. (81408 IPs) !!!<br>
    </p>
    <p>With Option B I will pay at least 13000 euro.</p>
    <p>The biggest LIR, de.telekom, will pay a little over 2700 euro for
      28.972.032 IP addresses.</p>
    <p>I just don't understand the reasoning behind the "volume" here.</p>
    <p>In earlier discussions from the last 2 years here on
      members-discuss, the RIPE representatives kept telling us that the
      annual fee is a member fee and not a price for the resources used.</p>
    <p>Now, I see a 180 degrees shift in their reasoning.</p>
    <p>They are telling us that this Option B is the more fairest
      because it takes into account the number of allocations because
      this is somehow representing the resources used by a LIR. But why
      not take into account all types of objects from the database?</p>
    <p>Contact persons, route objects, domains, roles, organizations and
      many more ...</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Regards,</p>
    <p>Alex</p>
    <p>P.S. I'm so angry at RIPE right now!<br>

            <p>Dear colleagues,<br>
            </p>
            <p>there are many users discussing about per ipv4 payments
              for a long time. I does not have to be most wanted option,
              but I believe, it is most discussed option last years. </p>
            <p>So if we decide to make voting about charging scheme, it
              should include the most discussed option. We will see if
              it win or not. Voting without this option is misleading.
              Organizations with huge allocations love actual schema
              (optiona A) and small organizations with symbolic
              alocation of /22 are definitely not going to vote for
              option B (very simplified it means: the less you have to
              buy on expensive ipv4 market the less you have to pay RIPE
              annualy).<br>
            </p>
            <p>Please <br>
            </p>
            <p>* Add option C (per-ipv4 fee) to choices<br>
            </p>
            <p> or <br>
            </p>
            <p>* Cancel this voting. <br>
            </p>
            <p><br>
            </p>
            <p>Results of voting with announced options will be very
              misleading.</p>

                      <p dir="ltr">Dear colleagues, <br>
                        <br>
                        Members will vote on the RIPE NCC Charging
                        Scheme 2020 at the General <br>
                        Meeting from 22-24 May. In response to requests
                        from members, the <br>
                        Executive Board is proposing two charging scheme
                        options that the <br>
                        members can choose from at the GM. <br>
                        <br>
                        An overview of the two options is also available
                        that explains the two <br>
                        models in more detail. The overview and the two
                        charging schemes are <br>
                        available at: <br>

                        <br>
                        <br>
                        In short, the options that members will choose
                        between are: <br>
                        <br>
                        Option A: The RIPE NCC will maintain the
                        existing charging scheme, <br>
                        according to which members pay an annual fee of
                        EUR 1,400 plus an extra <br>
                        EUR 50 per independent number resource
                        assignment. <br>
                        <br>
                        Option B: The RIPE NCC will switch to a new
                        volume-based, per <br>
                        registration charging scheme. This would involve
                        lowering the annual fee <br>
                        to EUR 1,150  whilst broadening the
                        applicability of the separate EUR 50 <br>
                        charge to all number registrations held by the
                        member. See the full list <br>
                        of registrations that would be charged in the
                        document. <br>
                        <br>
                        The existing sign-up fee of EUR 2,000 will apply
                        to both options. <br>
                        <br>
                        We encourage members to discuss the options on
                        the Member Discuss <br>

                        strongly encourage you to <br>
                        do so and make sure you have your say on which
                        of two distinct charging <br>
