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, Really? https://labs.ripe.net/author/ilke-ilhan/gm-may-2025-a-deep-dive-into-low-tur... This GM definitely stands out with a fall in voter participation. Out of 19,713 eligible members, 1,207 registered to vote and 1,039 cast

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.
