Hi Alex and all, For me it's a more complex subject. It's pretty easy to say, "You didn't say anything last year". It's also a clear view the community starts to break in two groups (pro and cons board plans). Even if I reply to the ripe survey "ripe does too many things and I don't feel ok to support some of them", people discover the cost of the new plan with that price change. I think the issue there is board / ripe doesn't provide a clear view of the budget requirement and how it translates to the yearly recurring fee for members. (Members are not financial, they are often tech) For the same price, yes, activity plan got validated. But for 30% (not the exact number) more, people start to look a bit more and understand they miss something. So, I think now people want a clear view of "how ripe can reduce the yearly per member bill by reducing / stopping activities they don't use / want to support". At the end, we are where we are now, and RIPE have to work differently. Things never be the same anymore and current board already know them. Be able to save money at the ripe ncc while making it stable become a next major reason to get elected to the board. (and we already have two candidates to propose with that mindset ;)) What append now change the rule for sure, and I hope the current management understand that and review their plan because it's time. Members now want more transparency in management, and more cost-saving measure. Now and not in 3 years. Best regards, Sarah Le 17-05-24 à 10:03, Alex Le Heux a écrit :
That became obvious rather early in your mail ;) Nonetheless, I think the whole process of financing RIPE NCC needs to be redone. Being only asked how to distribute the budgeted amount, without being asked (in a vote) in which direction the Activity Plan (& Budget) should develop is just wrong. IMHO, YMMV. You were asked. Numerous times. All of you.
You never said anything.
