FWIW, ARIN does not seem to have a problem with charging larger organizations more, see <a href="https://www.arin.net/resources/fees/fee_schedule/" id="LPlnk964361" style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">https://www.arin.net/resources/fees/fee_schedule/</a></div>

<span class="ContentPasted0" style="font-size:12pt;margin:0px">Does anyone know whether such large orgs have more influence with ARIN? Referring to the mail from the EB a few days ago, EB seems to be of the opinion that RIPE NCC couldn't charge recipients of
larger allocations in RIPEland more than 10k because of $factors such as "these larger companies would want a greater say in the organisation’s governance as a result of their increased contribution".</span></div>

While on that topic, I wonder why the EB recommends option 1 and thinks that the smaller organizations would not want to have a larger say in the organization's [RIPE's] governance as a result of their increased contribution.......</div>

It’s not fair to compare budgets. Compare membership fees. ARIN’s fees are for example higher or much higher, depending on service, while their budget is half. Apples and oranges?<br>
