<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Keep in mind that IANA maintains all technical parameter registries, and assigns all protocol numbers and technical parameters. For reasons of separation they have a standalone budget. One could argue that
risk that required this separation are less today, but personally I think that they are perhaps even greater now than then.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">My personal view is that the contribution to IANA / ICANN probably is justified for RIPE NCC and its members. The alternatives might well be cheaper, but perhaps not as palatable.

Maybe the paying stakeholders should start asking some questions...<br>
<br>
It's not like the NCC members are giving the NCC a free pass on all the<br>
moneys anymore.<br>
<br>
(I stand corrected, PTI budget is not 1 million, but 5 million... maybe<br>
I should just offer to take over IANA/PTI functions for just 4 million?)<br>
