<p>I personally think three things need to happen.</p>
<p>1) A base membership fee.</p>
<p>weather 1000 or 1200 or 1400 or 800 is irellevant. This should
just purely go towards operating the registry/db.</p>
<p>2) A fee for certain actions (regardless of outcome).<br>
</p>
<p>Example: Independant Resource Assignment ticket (per resrouce) =
50 // Mergers/Aquisitions Ticket = 1x "Signup Fee" // Resource
Transfer Fee = 250 Euro per Transfer //....</p>
<p>Resource Sponsoring billed at the current rates (I think ripe
should bill AS-Numbers like any ohther PI-Resource).</p>
<p>3) Optional Contribution to other areas (Atlas, Events,....)
where members can choose how much they want to contribute. <br>
</p>
<p>Ideally with a mechanism where you can specify what projects 80
percent of their funding goes towards. The rest should be used for
launching new projects..... and act as a buffer/reserve.</p>
<p><br>

<br>
Charging per ASN is even worse than just price
increase. It is terrible and killing even more LIRs<br>
<br>
Imagine rather new LIR who is trying to do business
based on what is LIR intended for - providing LIR
services to consumers. For example 30 clients who
requested ASN sponsorship during year.<br>
If charged per ASN they will pay twice more than huge
corporations serving only purpose of their own. Those
typically have just 1-2 ASNs and tons of resources
attached to it. They are main source of work for RIPE
staff and they should be funding expensive projects
like Atlas and others.<br>
<br>
Actually working LIRs also have business
contracts/logic already established on current
charging scheme and adding ASN fee will kill them.<br>
<br>
Once again - why not just bill based on resources?
It’s extremely easy. Oh, right, resource holders won’t
like it :)<br>

>>>> The main considerations for the
Executive Board in proposing these<br>
>>>> three models are:<br>
>>>><br>
>>>> 1. The consolidation of LIR accounts,
which means the burden to<br>
>>>> generate sufficient income must be
met by fewer accounts<br>
>>>><br>
>>>> 2. Increased costs due to inflation
that were previously catered for<br>
>>>> by the large number of LIR accounts<br>
>>>><br>
>>>> 3. Following the discussions last
year and again this year, there<br>
>>>> appears to be no clear consensus
among members on how a<br>
>>>> category-based model would work and
the Board does not wish to put<br>
>>>> another category model forward at the
upcoming GM that will be<br>
>>>> rejected by the members. Rather, the
Board will propose a simple<br>
>>>> model that guarantees adequate
funding for 2025 and 2026 - under this<br>
>>>> proposal, we expect there would be no
need for a fee increase for<br>
>>>> 2026. The Board will work with the
RIPE NCC on a more in-depth<br>
>>>> consultation with the members aimed
at arriving at a sustainable<br>
>>>> solution for 2027 and beyond,
possibly involving a new charging<br>
>>>> scheme task force.<br>
>>>><br>
>>>><br>
>>>> All three proposed models are
designed to arrive at the same income<br>
>>>> of EUR 41.1 million for the RIPE NCC
in 2025. This will cover all<br>
>>>> current services and activities, a 5%
staff cost increase, a 2%<br>
>>>> inflation increase on all non-staff
costs, and EUR 1 million for<br>
>>>> additional work relating to registry
complexity and security projects<br>
>>>> aimed at ensuring the resilience of
the Registry and the RIPE NCC<br>
>>>> more broadly.<br>
>>>> Any such additional work would be
discussed with the membership<br>
>>>> during Activity Plan and Budget
consultations and then need to be<br>
>>>> approved by the Board. This will also
allow some leeway should more<br>
>>>> LIR accounts close than we expect.<br>
>>>><br>
>>>><br>
>>>> It’s important to note that the RIPE
NCC aims for an income budget<br>
>>>> that will provide a surplus, and this
means that should we meet our<br>
>>>> budgetary targets, a surplus can be
returned to members in 2026<br>
>>>> should they so wish.<br>
>>>><br>
>>>><br>
>>>> While the RIPE NCC continues to carry
out cost-cutting efforts across<br>
>>>> the organisation, drastically
reducing the budget at this time is not<br>
>>>> advisable due to the work that needs
to be carried out, especially in<br>
>>>> relation to maintaining high-quality
registry services and securing<br>
>>>> the registry and RIPE NCC systems.
Cutting services or activities is<br>
>>>> not something the Board is planning
to do, and such actions would<br>
>>>> take time and need full consultation
with the membership. An overview<br>
>>>> of the activities and services that
the membership fee covers is<br>
