Hello,

I just read the email regarding the charging scheme for 2020 option B.

Are you kidding me?

Are you really naming it "volume based billing"?

Let's say one isp has only one /12 ipv4 PA. It will pay 1150 euro + 50 euro.

The other LIR that wants to help small companies and has 50 /24 assignments, will pay 1150 + 50*50=3650 euro.

All new lirs that receive smaller than /22 assignments will pay more than than the big isp.

Where is the volume here?

Unbelievable...

Regards,

Alex

Dear colleagues,

Members will vote on the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2020 at the General
Meeting from 22-24 May. In response to requests from members, the
Executive Board is proposing two charging scheme options that the
members can choose from at the GM.

An overview of the two options is also available that explains the two
models in more detail. The overview and the two charging schemes are
available at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2019/supporting-documents

In short, the options that members will choose between are:

Option A: The RIPE NCC will maintain the existing charging scheme,
according to which members pay an annual fee of EUR 1,400 plus an extra
EUR 50 per independent number resource assignment.

Option B: The RIPE NCC will switch to a new volume-based, per
registration charging scheme. This would involve lowering the annual fee
to EUR 1,150 whilst broadening the applicability of the separate EUR 50
charge to all number registrations held by the member. See the full list
of registrations that would be charged in the document.

The existing sign-up fee of EUR 2,000 will apply to both options.

We encourage members to discuss the options on the Member Discuss
mailing list at <members-discuss@ripe.net>. The Executive Board and the
RIPE NCC Management will follow discussions closely ahead of the GM.

If you have not yet registered for the GM, we strongly encourage you to
do so and make sure you have your say on which of two distinct charging
scheme options should be adopted in May. Full participation and voting
options are available for all members. You can register now via the LIR
Portal at:
https://www.ripe.net/s/gm-registration-may-2019

All details on the GM, including the draft agenda, are available from:
