Dear all, If we'd like to go on TL;DR: -> Independent resources pricing options are the same, so no need to look around there if we are looking only on the pricing. -> Pricing between A & B becomes higher on B when reaching 16x /24 and/or 16x /29 (which seems a bit low, ie cat6/21). I made the calculations (might be some minor errors): Cat1 = 0 /24 = base + 0€ Cat2 = 1 /24 = cat1 + 148€ Cat3 = 2 /24 = cat2 + 199€ Cat4 = 4 /24 = cat3 + 399€ Cat5 = 8 /24 = cat4 + 448€ Cat6 = 16 /24 = cat5 + 723€ Cat7 = 32 /24 = cat6 + 872€ Cat8 = 64 /24 = cat7 + 1046€ Cat9 = 128 /24 = cat8 + 1146€ Cat10 = 256 /24 = cat9 + 1495€ Cat11 = 512 /24 = cat10 + 1495€ Cat12 = 1024 /24 = cat11 + 2043€ Cat13 = 2048 /24 = cat12 + 2093€ Cat14 = 4096 /24 = cat13 + 2342€ Cat15 = 8192 /24 = cat14 + 2591€ Cat16 = 16384 /24 = cat15 + 2890€ Cat17 = 32768 /24 = cat16 + 3189€ (uk.bt/fr.sfr/fr.proxad/fr.bouygtel/uk.ntli/it.fastweb) Cat18 = 65536 /24 = cat17 + 3737€ (fr.telecom/de.telekom and the sum of all Telecom Italia members) Cat19 = 131072 /24 = cat18 + 4086€ any ? Cat20 = 262144 /24 = cat19 + 4086€ (uk.microsoft ) Cat21 = 524288 /24 and above = cat20 + 4983€ (no LIR ?) My remarks: 0- Are there any LIR for cat21 ? 1- there's a gap on each category, which makes the "additionnal /24" a tough threshold effect. and even if the gap increases between almost all categories, still, it tends to become more and more interesting "per additionnal /24" for higer categories. 2- I am still a bit disappointed that the highest fee is only ~40K for largest -existing?- LIRs. 3- But still, it's a better option than what was suggested earlier (10K IIRC). => I am happy that smaller LIR with only one /24 and one /29 would pay much less than before. Well... since we will not have any other voting options, we'll have to choose with our wallets. Just one additionnal question: How would you redistribute any excess of budget? Would it be calculated on the base of the fee paid on year N-1? Regards, Clément Cavadore On Tue, 2026-04-21 at 10:43 +0200, Fergal Cunningham wrote:
