The current charging scheme is the result of a committee of ripe ncc members set up a couple of years ago by the board to recommend new options for charging schemes.

Now we seem to be unhappy with this and want the option to change it to something different
It's like the cat. When it's outside, it wants to be in. When it's inside it wants to be out. And when the door is open, it just sits there, stares at you and meows.
I think the covering document would have benefited from reminding members of how e we got here, but also what the grumblings with the current charging scheme was at the time. It is always good to review the model you are using, but to institute change it is also important to identify what is driving the change - i.e. what the problem is that we are trying to solve.
