<div dir="ltr">Kurtis, actually the issue is that EB presented the model A, B, C which are almost all the same just a little bit different, and offer no ability to reject, if you abstain your vote is not counted. The most outrageous is that it is enough 27 members to vote for one of this plan to be implemented/accepted.

The members have not formally accepted the activity plan, the Executive Board have. The members where provided the chance to give input on the activity plan. While this might not seem like a major difference, I think part of the problem is exactly this. Perhaps the members SHOULD vote on the activity plan?

EB can't put an option of a lower budget (and members fee) on the agenda as they need to follow the (accepted by RIPE NCC members) activity plan and assure the budget for it. Period. At this point lower budget is not possible. You are all barking at the wrong tree. When the activity plan comes into a discussion at (and prior to the GM) - that's the time to start proposing changes if you really want them.
