Why? What is so difficult that could not be achieved over the last 2 years to reduce the budget to maintain the existing charging scheme. As a private company if you don't have the money (sales) to cover expenses you cut your budget. Sure you can raise prices on your consumers, and some companies do so, but smart companies know that it's a balancing act, and I've seen no visible signs of RIPE taking budget cuts seriously,
I've certainly seen signs of RIPE NCC taking the budget cuts... Maybe we'll see more budget savings at the RIPE88 meeting in Krakow, and I bet that people would complain if RIPE NCC would start saving on the RIPE meeting food, drinks and logistics ;) #bringyourownsandwichandwater On the other hand, the increased budget is - again - not an increased budget, but just a sync with the inflation (now they need to sync two years of the inflation due to previous GM resolution...). And as I already pointed out (and Simon also), if you want to decrease the budget - you need to shave off the activity plan. How you do that? Well -> GM :) Cheers, Jan
