Personally, I think charging for number of IPv4 held is not the right way to go about it.

I think it would be better to more regularly scan allocated resources and re-claim those which are not actively in use.

I don't think that it should discriminate on anything smaller than /22, but LIRs holding multiple /22 or larger ranges should definitely prove that a reasonable number of these are in use or risk losing them.


I'd also hope that everyone taking the time to participate in this discussion has already rolled out IPv6 alongside their IPv4.

If everyone is waiting for others to deploy then we're going to get nowhere.

If everyone just thought let's go ahead and get our network ready, the world would probably have been done a long time ago.


All the best,

Iain

Hello, Azer

There is no sales, most likely it is rent. The non profit can be resolved
very easy:

If for previous year the RIPE NCC budget is positive, what is over income
will be spread between LIRs as discount for the next year. If the
collected funds from members is cant cover the expenses, the fees per net
will be lifted for next year with the amount of negative balance.

For example:
Lets say In 2019 the total expenses are 30 000 000 euro , and from
membership fees was collected 60 000 000

60m - 30m = +30m euro overcome

(10 EURO) - (30m euro) / (sum /24 nets for RIPE region) = (fee for one extra /24 net for 2020)

The oposite scenario can be calculate with the same formula.

For those LIRs who have only one /24 and pay minimal fee of 350 EURO no
discount for next year. There must be guarantee minimum budget for normal
RIPE NCC work.

Even I personaly would like RIPE NCC to have bigger budget, to hire more
staff, and they to care resources that will be returned to be cleared from
blacklists, bans, wrong annonsing and e.t.c. before they to be redelegated
to other LIRs.

Therefore membership fee have not any relation with number of resources hold by each member. Therefore, before talking about charge schemes we need change this base terms. I am agreed (as i believe and many other LIR's) that current situation seems to be unfair and it is not stimulate big actor to free up unused ipv4 ip's. It is usual practice in the world that who taken more resources pay for more. IPV4 is resources and they has own cost on free market. We cannot ignore this. Perhaps we need some explanation from RIPE to get more details why RIPE cannot use this way? May be some legal issue existing?
