well I think that IPv4 address space percentage allocation will not change in the next 5 years True, but that's not related to the cost of the RIPE NCC anymore, so why should it be relevant to the costs paid?
So, is all budget of RIPE used for managing IPv6, new members and trouble tickets? Is RIPE not having servers and bandwidth to manage IPv4 services, PA, AS, routes, and so on? It would be nice to have an analytic view of the budget, and see how much is spent for seminars, how much for accounting, and how much for servers and bandwith. I see big LIR start from the point of view that public IPv4 resources are free for them, and IPv6 will be free as well. Why IPv6 resources should be free? IPv4 should cost more than IPv6, but IPv6 resources MUST be payed according to usage. So, I agree an accounting/seminars fee should be the same for all, but IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, as well as AS, PA, PI should be charged for quantity. RIPE budget spent for accounting and seminars should be payed the same from all LIRs, and the remaining part of budget should be charged over resources usage. Regards, Tonino
