what should be covered are the costs ? 50 / 50 for lir / ripe or what else.
You bring up an issue that we have to solve. And that is the finance of this. I think that most of the interested bigger LIR:s would be able to finance this on a, let's say, 50/50 basis.
I agree completely.
(One thing. This should not be a way for an big ISP to get a chance to do "lobbying" on his own turf. I am not afraid of this. But i would only like to state my opinion of this.)
I think the hostmasters from ripe are very -straight- and i never see any lobbying..
But those LIR:s that feel that they can not affford this is the main factor. I do not know how hard it should strain RIPE:s budget if we should do this:
Eg:
Size LIR/RIPE --------------------------------------------------- Large : 50/50 % Medium : 35/65 % Small : 20/80 %
I also have this idea in mind, but on the large and super national i would say 80/20 and medium 50/50 might be a better idea, as the most are in medium range and the bigger ones (such as we) shall support also the smaller ones.
( These numbers i just a suggestion )
My numbers also..
The big LIR:s would "support" the smaller ones. But i am willing to do this as long that i can see that this will benefit the community as a whole.
Right. I think it could help the community as a whole and to fasten up many problems currently arising (e.g. long waiting queues)
How much expences would RIPE:s finances be able to take without rising the memberfee for the LIR:s?
If this would be a result of this, then i am sorry to say, would not get a consensus on a meeting.
