I am equally concerned of the rise in fees (although I have been aware it was coming) which I don't see as bringing me anything more value. However, other than mentioning it on the survey that recently took place, I haven't had the time to get involved in more detail with RIPE. It looks like I will have to in future.

Sorry, maybe I do not participate quite as much as I would like, but the fee for a SMALL registry has increased by more that 50% in a year. I just got the invoice and had to back track. My budgets are somewhat unbalanced now...
That is somewhat high a jump isn't it ? What is the average EU inflation figure ? 4% ?
Can someone from the RIPE management comment on how much money is spent on non-core (IP management, co-ordination and associated registry activities) ?
I cannot make it to RIPE meetings but I would like to ask someone to raise this issue formally at the next event.
