The ASN cost for us would have had practically no impact ? we only have two and I suspect we?re getting rid of one at some point.
However the other costs that the charging schemes suggested would have cost us thousands ? and that simply wasn?t acceptable
ASN charges yes/no were their own voting item, fully independent on the charging scheme A/B/C/D vote. (Resolution 4 vs. Resolution 3) https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2023/draft-minutes... But maybe the question itself was loaded and biased... "Resolution 4: "In addition to the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme adopted in Resolution 3, the General Meeting adopts an extra charge of EUR 50 per ASN as an integral part of the Charging Scheme 2024." naming this an "extra charge" *without* being very clear that it's not going to change the overall budget (= by implication, the individual charges on model A, B, C, D need to become lower) does, indeed, suggest that it will be "more expensive". *sigh* Time for retirement, Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
