Hi all, now the budget 2012 is online on RIPE website :) The incoming fee will be higher as I have calculated with 19M EUR. But why there are no more any "End User Fees" Incoming for 2012 ?? All will be billed through LIR's ?? I don't think that this will be true ;) One big point is that the personnel expenses will growing up by 6,3% !?!?! I don't guess that each one will get more money at this amount. But why we need that high increase - more personnel maybe - but why ?? The work at RIPE will be the same as before without needing more personnel because LIR can be waiting without problem like one day longer for some requests too - isn't it ? General Operating Expenses +10,8% ??? It is a joke not ? Best regards, Alexander Schoberl SPEEDNIC S.R.L.
