      Hello.
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Because it solves both purposes</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>- some small motivation for unused “hoarded” IP address space
        to be distributed back to those who suffer from total lack of
        them - at least a little bit will go back to market. There are
        still really A LOT of entities who hoard them not for the
        purpose of need (now or in future, commercial or not), but ONLY
        because some time ago v4 distribution was not managed properly.
        This, per my opinion, should be somehow resolved.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>- small LIR’s without large clients or subnets should not
        fund RIPE expensive projects on equal basis with
        transcontinental corporations. Latter will easily agree on 100x
        price increase just to knock off anyone else - still not even
        notice this fee. But existing fee and its increase is more than
        significant for smaller networks or someone trying to enter
        market.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>What I see in proposed schemes is total lack of choice. Let’s
        not pretend that increase to 1800, increase 1850 or increase to
        1900 is actually a choice. It is not! And what I see in this
        mailing list is that almost everyone agree with this fact.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>My initial proposal remains the same: 0.1 EUR (adjusted to
        real RIPE financial needs) per v4 address in use. Absolutely
        flat and fair. It will be eventually distributed up to the IP
        end user by supply chain and be totally unnoticeable for them.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>At least there should be couple of more options in vote if
        community opinion really counted. Otherwise vote is nonsense,
        why it is needed at all?</div>

                        all,
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>Why on earth is everybody trying to
                          monetize IPv4, i.e. make RIPE fees dependant
                          on IPv4 ressources?</div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>I completely fail to see why anybody should
                          pay more for HOLDING any number of IPv4
                          ressources (or other ressources, by the way).</div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>It’s a different story for ressource
                          transfers. So let those selling IPv4 pay a fee
                          for the transfer! </div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>And for the rest let’s stick to a real
                          membership fee: one price irrespective of
                          which services you use or not. The fitness
                          center doesn’t charge you per minute, nor per
                          device you use. It's a flat membership, full
                          stop. Hopefully low enough so it doesn’t
                          create a problem for anybody's bottom line.</div>
