I agree, but a little more, and we also need some kind of mechanism to involve all participants in important discussions. In the shared LIR space, rather than the wishes of those who voluntarily joined the mailing lists. Serbulov Dmitry.
Supporting that.

We should start with the elections.
I'm just thinking this out loud.
1. Elections should last 30/31 days (possibly 4 weeks/28 days) or from the 1st of the month to the end of the month. We have time, or does one of you need to know the results tomorrow? OK.
2. Bonuses for voters, e.g., credits for courses and exams.
3. Or, votes cast should be recorded as an election point, and as long as there are more "no votes" than "votes," the election must be repeated.
Then it might just take a while for elections to take place. A vote below 30% is ridiculous; below 50%, an election should be declared void and restarted.

Many LIRs? I thing "few" is better word here. Each member has right to vote in many questions ultimately affects what services are provided.
As a result, we vote ourselves out what RIPE does.
~20% members activelly voted (on last GM). The rest simply don't care, it doesn't bother them. From number of non-voters, it's impossible to infer their interest or disinterest. Not voting is also a way to exercise the right to vote.
But let's not use the false argument that they aren't interested by additional services. There's no evidence for that.

Many LIR aren't interrested by the additional services provided by the RIPE NCC. Having a fixed membership fees pushes the smallest LIR to either migrate to an other RIR, or to merge with other LIR to reduce exploitation costs. If the incencitive to make the smallest LIR to close or leave the RIPE NCC continues, that will mean increase of the membership fees for all the remaining LIR. And like that, by the end of the decade, the fees will be with 5 figures, and there will be only big players remaining, effectively owning the RIPE NCC. I'm not sure many orgs will enjoy this situation.
