There have been calculators during the discussions, in Excel form. Personally, I dislike the calculators. They reinforce the mindset of "I'll vote for what allows me to pay the least". This is a membership organization and not some company we try to buy as cheap as possible from. In my opinion the voting should be about what we think is the fairest model and the one that allows RIPE NCC to function for the years to come. I happen to think that the category model is the fairest one, but there are good arguments either way and each member needs to decide on that for their own. And yeah, I know that mindset is wishful thinking. 😊 Best regards, Andreas Grabmüller QuarIT GmbH \\ Jägerstraße 19 \\ 83308 Trostberg \\ Deutschland a.grabmueller@quarit.de \\ www.quaritec.de \\ Telefon: +49 8621 994900-0 \\ Telefax: +49 8621 994900-9 Amtsgericht Traunstein: HRB 23872 \\ Sitz: Trostberg \\ Geschäftsführer: Andreas Grabmüller \\ Ust.-ID: DE297594275 Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen: http://www.quaritec.de/agb \\ Aktuelle Preisliste: http://www.quaritec.de/preise -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: SerczerNET <mariusz.nienaltowski@serczer.pl> Gesendet: Dienstag, 21.

Dear all,
This morning our Executive Board Chair announced the charging scheme voting options for members to vote on at the upcoming General Meeting:
_https://mailman.ripe.net/archives/list/ncc-announce@ripe.net/thread/I ZFVMQND3JWC4QHPKVYRZDNFXPRLMLNM/_ <https:// mailman.ripe.net/archives/list/ncc-announce@ripe.net/thread/IZFVMQND3J WC4QHPKVYRZDNFXPRLMLNM/>
All the information, and a calculator you can use to predict your potential fees for 2027, is available from:
_https://www.ripe.net/s/gm/may-2026-documents/_ <https://www.ripe.net/s/gm/may-2026-documents/>
We are of course interested to hear what members think about the proposal.
And, very importantly, registration for the GM and to vote on your preferred option can be done quickly and easily through the LIR Portal:
