Hi Angeli,
If it's a joke for you so I'm glad that I made your smile. But for me it isn't a reason for laughing. I started work with RIPE's current terms and conditions and an important factor for me was the fact that there was an opportunity to pay on a quarterly basis. Based on this, I compiled my business plan. And the innovations that are planned to introduce will hit me out a lot. As far as I know, the annual payments were and are available to everyone. If it's convenient for you to pay annually, then you have the right to choose this form of payment. Why are you trying to impose a payment method that is convenient for you and far from acceptable to me and lots of LIR's like me. Does it your tolerance? In my turn, I do not convince anyone to switch to a quarterly payment. I'm just trying to defend my rights to a convenient payment method for me. As a member of the community, I have the rights to do so. Don't you think so? Do democracy and openness are just empty words for you and all must silently accept changes that will complicate the life of a large part of the community?
