Hi Piotr, Thanks for the first reply as well. I'll attempt to clarify but I do understand these are broad questions, so it might be better to re-word it a bit. - Do you feel that the charging scheme proposal issued by the board was the appropriate measure to make, or should the board have taken more seriously the call to reduce it's budget and operate from reserves while it found ways to cut expenses? - When referring to RIPE I do refer to the RIPE NCC - Referring in general terms to the proposal issued here - https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/member-proposals/1/ and the current action / response of the board in not allowing a measure to be voted down, but instead rigging or guaranteeing that regardless of the number or style of votes, one of their proposed measures will pass. I feel this may have been calculated, since last year an option to maintain the existing choice was included, which received the majority vote, however, this year no such option was included so regardless of ones feelings, and regardless how much a member may disagree with that choice there is no way to record that displeasure and have it reflect in the vote.
