[ncc-announce] [GM] RIPE NCC Charging Scheme and ASNs

Dear Colleagues,

The RIPE NCC Executive Board met last night to review the discussions
regarding charging for AS Numbers. We feel that there was no really conclusive
outcome to the discussion, so we will ask members to vote on the
issue at the General Meeting (GM) on the 13th of May 2015.

There will therefore be two resolutions on charging at the GM:

- Members will be asked to vote to approve or reject the Charging Scheme
2016 that was published on 24 March:

- Members will also be asked to vote to approve or reject a resolution
that would instantiate a EUR 50 charge per ASN

The figure of EUR 50 was chosen to be equal to that for PI allocations,
in the spirit of 2007-01.

All supporting documents and the final agenda will be posted by the RIPE
NCC on the 15th of April.

We would like to thank all those who contributed to the recent
discussion. We will continue to monitor the members-discuss mailing list
should you wish to continue the discussion there.

Finally, we encourage all members to register to vote at the GM so that
the outcome of the voting reflects the wishes of as many RIPE NCC
members as possible.
