So if we really go for something based on allocation size, adding a yearly depreciation factor in would make this "more fair" (... we've been paying our share for the last 29(!) years already).
Following this logic, as older one company is as less government taxes should pay ? If all LIRs pay same amount, they _MUST_ have same rights and hold same resources. If we dont change the things now, the future of RIPE is dark really dark. In next 5-10 years number of LIR members will go dramatically down, fees will go up. The IT market in europe will consolidate faster. No new bussiness will start and there will be non stop RIPE budged cuts. In the end RIPE will gone. there will be 15-20 mastodont companies which will not need organization like RIPE. Let's make things fair for all. Now (after 30 years developing bussines) can you tell your company is on same level with same money turnover as deutsche telekom for example ? Because you pay as much as DT for completely different bussiness scales. Ivaylo Josifov VarnaIX / Varteh LTD +359 52 969393 Varna, Bulgaria On Fri, 29 Mar 2024, Gert Doering wrote:

My humble proposal is to class basing on how many additional resources a company have beyond the basics that was valid at the time of joining Ripe.
... and possibly how old these resources are... we got our blocks in 1995/1996, and they are considered "large" by today's standards. Back then, it was what you got as a fast-growing small ISP...
