Hello, My opinion is that if RIPE will move on with volume based billing, it will completely lose any legacy holder who wishes to become member. They will simply not become members and big chunks of used IPv4 will remain legacy forever in the database.

And it’s not fair that after you pay 4k euros for a /24 to pay 50 euros more yearly, unlike some older LIRs that paid next to nothing for a /20 let’s say. > Argument in favor of Scheme B vs per-IPv4-cost: > - Early adopters of ISP businesses gets benefits - good for early > adopters who on average have much, much larger allocations than > larger sets of /22s or /24s. > - Potentially easier for RIPE NCC to implement as it is based on > resource without the level of detail of what resource it is > > Arguments in favor of per-IPv4-cost vs Scheme B: > - RIPE NCC should not give competetive advantage to early adopters / > incumbents - there is anti trust regulation that potentially comes > into play in EU around these things. > - Per IPv4 address costing is much more fair obviously, and gives > incentives forr holders of the larger allocations (which ought to > account for the vast majority of RIPE NCC space) to optimize and > return space they do not use. > - RIPE NCC implementation is a technical implementation question, and > not a policy/governance question. > > > Per-IPv4-cost is not one of the presented choices however.

Considering the level of rebates RIPE NCC is handing out since there is so vast surpluses of the budget, I wonder why fee just isn't lowered instead? I've heard the argument "It shouldn't be too cheap", but I disagree with that. It's a bit silly to transfer large amounts of money to RIPE NCC only for them to transfer it back, and it doesn't incentivize cost efficiency within the NCC either, I imagine. > > > I'll advise the handful of LIRs I'm involved with to go for option A, not because it saves them money but because option B tilts the entire LIR world. > > Best, > -- > Martin Millnert > BrainMill AB > https://www.brainmill.com > > >> If we keep option B we might as well divide the LIRs into two separate types: >> >> pre-exaustion (have to pay the 50 euros) post-exaution (exempt from >> paying the 50 euros) >> >> Thanks >> — >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> Petru Bunea / CEO >> suport@bunea.eu <mailto:suport@bunea.eu> / +40752481282 >> <tel:+40752481282> Bunea TELECOM / DATACENTER / APP DEVELOPMENT >> http://www.bunea.eu <http://www.bunea.eu/> / +40745495495 >> <tel:+40745495495> >> >>> On 17 Apr 2019, at 23:06, Gert Doering <gert@space.net> wrote: >>> >>> Hi, >>> >>> On Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 10:42:15PM +0300, Andrejs Guba wrote: >>>> So i repeat.
