So, in my opinion, the RIPE fees have been worth the reduction of risk. Maybe now it is changing. I will be looking into the process of mergers and acquisitions through RIPE to see if there is a goal I can pursue to become an ex-LIR (much to the relief of some I suspect).
or perhaps there should be a new "smallest" membership level for organisations that do not need to make ongoing allocations and requests for address space and/or are maintaining legacy space.
Perhaps a limit of 3 requests at a figure of 500 Euro, which works out at 3 x 126 Euro cost to the NCC plus a margin to contribute towards other projects
This would solve the ongoing discussion and bring RIPE more happy customers :) Maarten Linthorst -- Maarten E. Linthorst mailto:mel@csi.ch GoldNet / CSI Communications Systems Inc.
