Lastly, I want to make it very clear that we, as the RIPE NCC, are not opposed to differentiation between members. We did propose the category model last year based on extensive consultation and discussion with the members, which could have been the start of this differentiation. This model was rejected, and we have to respect that. Any proposal will need consensus, as well as input from a diverse group of members, to ensure we reach a Charging Scheme that serves the needs (as far as possible) of all our members.
You can't draw any conclusions from last year's vote. The voting options were flawed: some people rejected the category model, while others rejected the budget increase. Fact: model A (category model) received 3.3x more votes than model B (same budget as model A) in round 1. I'm not saying that the category model would automatically win this year, but your justification for excluding it is invalid. Best regards, Sebastien Brossier
