Hello!
And I would like to see those split up in 2 separate discussion on the members-discussion list as well.
Great idea!
1) a discussion about what is the cost and do we want to keep the cost allocation as is. For instance, do we keep a 650k Euro loss a year for the RIPE meetings or is a change in operating / cost allocation required ?
I see that in budget for 2011 year scheduled expenditure: RIPE meeting - 875 kEUR Training Courses - 383 kEUR Regional Meetings - 263 kEUR, Summary meeting cost: 1521kEUR. Now we have the following situation: each LIR pays defined cost for all of meetings which are being hold during whole year. But actually not every LIR-representative visits such meetings. So there is a question: Maybe there is no need to hold such meetings and trainings while we could run a lot of Webinars. Webinars would not be such cost-based as real meetings, but could be such useful as them. -- Alexey S Ivanov General Director LeaderTelecom Ltd Тел.: 8(495)778-98-51
