might be an option to think.</span></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span class="font" style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt;">In that case everything will be fair. Small LIR will stay in RIPE with fair, per single IP, share of spends and big LIRs will receive
registry services from other RIRs.</span></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span class="font" style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span class="font" style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt;">At least I don't see any other options to make everybody happy with fees.</span></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span class="font" style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></span><br></p></div></div></blockquote><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">And this is why we have this balance:<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">for a big IPv4 block LIR (from the RIPE region), it's very comfortable to stay in the RIPE region and save a lot of euros,<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">for a smaller IPv4 block LIR, the cost of moving to ARIN or LACNIC is too high, and the risk is not worth the savings,<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">For an IPv4-less LIR, there is no way to get these addresses faster anyway (they are on the waiting list).<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">So nobody leaves the big boy-friendly club, and those who have been staying for a long time enjoy the benefits of membership, meetings, training, Atlas, you name it.
