Please explain which of the suggestions were putting the organization at risk and how. I’d like to hear about the risks the Board has evaluated.

Has the board done any analysis on why it still considers it fair for the PI cost to be €50/year since 2011? A €200/year/block would bring the NCC budget €4mil..

Has the Board ever evaluated if a base fee + a %of IPv4 fee + a %of IPv6 fee + a services (tickets, training, meetings) approach would satisfy more of the membership?

Was the resource based charging scheme with emphasis on IPv4 holdings so bad? 

Is there a risk to the RIPE NCC if a member pays a larger bill?

Did the holders of the large blocks really threaten to leave the RIPE NCC service region or is this just a hypothetical situation?

How would one large holder of IPv4 addresses leaving really cause such a big risk to the organization ? Wouldn’t their bill be redistributed to all other members?

Guess a lot of these questions will find answers during the BoF. Wish remote attendance will be available.
