1. What is the difference between RIPE and RIPE-NCC ?
RIPE NCC is a membership association. See http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/about/ RIPE is a "community", which meets several times a year. It is not incorporated, thus it has no formal mambership. See http://www.ripe.net/ripe/about/index.html
2. What is our membership fee funding (RIPE or RIPE-NCC) ?
The membership fee is paid by the RIPE NCC members. It funds the activities of the RIPE NCC, see http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ap2003.html This covers support for RIPE meetings. RIPE meetings are not fully self financing, f.i. staff support is not "charged to" RIPE.
3. What other funding does RIPE or RIPE-NCC recieve, other than membership fees (with respect to the answer to the preceeding questions)
None. regards, Axel
