<blockquote type="cite">To help with discussion and to provide
something tangible for members to assess, we are putting forward
two draft models for members to review. These models can be
summarised as:
<br>
<br>
Model 1: A “one-LIR, one-fee” model based on the current RIPE
NCC Charging Scheme 2023 that also charges for independent
resources, ASNs, transfers and changes in business structure
such as Mergers & Acquisitions.
<br>
<br>
Model 2: A category-based model that charges per member (not per
LIR account) and is based on resources registered and that also
charges for independent resources, ASNs, transfers and changes
in business structure such as Mergers & Acquisitions.
<br>
<br>
In order to allow members to form an opinion based on their own
situation, we are providing an Excel sheet that will allow you
to calculate the fees you would pay under each of the draft
models. It is important to be aware that at this stage, the
numbers assigned for each item are indicative and would be
reviewed in light of the discussion with members. We plan to
review these figures following consultation with the members,
and giving input on those figures would greatly help to arrive
at a good model.
<br>
<br>
You can download the Excel sheet from:

Have to admit, very cleverly done. Present model 1 which is the
current model and then present model 2 which everyone will hate
due to its increased membership costs. So when discussion arises
it will be model 1 vs model 2 and everyone will select model 1
which is what RIPE wants to begin with. :-)
<br>
<br>
I'd like to suggest model 3. Same as model 1 but membership fee
is 1800€ and all the rest is the same.
