[ncc-announce] [news] RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2020 Published

Dear RIPE NCC members,

The RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2020 is now available. This 
definitive document has been approved by the RIPE NCC Executive Board 
with input from our membership. It outlines the work we will undertake 
in the coming year and the associated costs for each activity.

The document is available at:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-735

The main points from this year's Activity Plan and Budget are:

- Our budget will increase by 4%
- No increase to our FTE count
- A forecast revenue decrease of 12% in 2020, as we expect to end the 
year with approximately 1,500 fewer LIR accounts than we started with
- The membership fee remains at EUR 1,400
- There is an anticipated surplus of 3,332 kEUR to potentially be 
redistributed to the membership
- The cost per LIR is expected to be EUR 1,498, up from EUR 1,367 in the 
2019 Budget

Feedback we received from the Executive Board and from the membership at 
last October's General Meeting (GM) did not result in any significant 
changes since the draft version was published in September.

Kind regards

RIPE NCC Management Team
