Hi Kaj,

Benchmarking is always useful, but sometimes comparing may be a bit difficult.

RIPE, revenue 38M EUR (40M USD), members 20k = 2 k/member

ARIN, revenue 25M USD, members 25k = 1 k/member

APNIC, revenue 33M AUD (21M USD), members 10k = 2 k/member

LACNIC, revenue 10M USD, members 12k = 0.8 k/member

AFRINIC, revenue 6M USD, members 2k = 3 k/member

APNIC and LACNIC has National Internet Registries that handle members in their countries which makes comparison difficult.

ARIN has recently changed their membership structure to include the equivalent of our End Users and individual ASN holders.

They have also removed the distinction between PI and PA.

If the RIPE NCC did the same, we would more than double the number of members and bring the average to less than 1k/member.

Sincerely,
