An obvious option would be to reduce budgeted RIPE NCC expenditure to the level of forecasted revenue. This is what most normal companies, without assured funding, must do.
I totally agree. If we look at the Draft Activity Plan and Budget 2023 https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2022/documenta... Right in the summary it’s written “Other factors affecting our budget include high inflation and costs related to major projects planned for 2023, especially our planned migration of some services to the cloud” So, if the budget is scarce, why continue such project in the first place? With that being the first justification of the budget, it’s not sufficient to increase the members participation for me. -- Alarig
