Dear colleagues,

The RIPE NCC Executive Board held its 98th meeting on 19 March 2015 and

The Executive Board publishes the minutes of its meetings so that the
workings of the Board and the decisions it makes are transparent for the
membership that it represents.

The following is a summary of the main items from the meetings. Further
details are available in the minutes.

At the 98th Executive Board meeting:

- The Board resolved that LIRs must pay the full annual fee for the year
in question before commencement of a merger/transfer/closure procedure
of an LIR account.
- The Board proposes to continue with the existing charging scheme model
with a lower service fee for 2016. The EUR 50 PI fee will remain and the
fee for Legacy Resource holders with a direct contract will pay the same
annual fee as LIRs.
- The Board reviewed the agenda for the upcoming RIPE NCC General
Meeting (GM) and the supporting documents for the meeting.
- The Board approved the continued extension of the voting window for
the GM until the Friday morning of the RIPE Meeting at 09:00 until
further notice.
- The Board noted that the intention of RIPE Policy Proposal 2014-04 is
not to destimulate the adoption of IPv6.
- The Board discussed the proposed Joint RIR Stability Fund. This fund
is intended to safeguard the RIR system in the unlikely event of an RIR
requiring financial assistance. The RIPE NCC would reserve an amount
that would contribute towards this Joint RIR Stability Fund.

At the 99th Executive Board meeting:

- The Board reviewed the membership discussion on charging for ASNs and
noted that there was no conclusive outcome. The Board decided to have a
resolution at the GM asking members to approve or reject a EUR 50 charge
for ASNs.
- The Board approved the RIPE NCC Annual Report 2014 including the RIPE
NCC Financial Report 2014.
