I have added my support as I suggest everyone else do.
Everyone should realize that the major issue here is whether the annual fees will increase somewhere between 16-23%. Max has suggested a 0% increase.
Look at the 2023 financial report: https://www.ripe.net/documents/3756/ripe-821.pdf
No need to read all 39 pages - just page 6. Quote:
"In 2023, we focused on reducing costs to ensure we can cope with the reduction in income due to the decrease of LIR accounts over the past few years. As a result, total expenditure was 37.3M EUR, 2.7 kEUR (7%) below the budget of 40M EUR. This puts us in a good position to operate within the 2024 budget of 38.2M EUR and to cope with inflation."
A target budget of 37-38M Euro is easily doable and we should not agree to a 20% increase in fees in order to support a 20% increase in total budget.

I have created the request for GM Agenda proposal "Keep current billing scheme for the next year".
Now it depends on your support. If there will be 400 supports, it should be included to GM.
Here it is the link: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/member-proposals/1/
You just need to click on the "Support" button.
