I believe RIPE it is the only RIR who charges its members the same amount no matter the resource holder! Other RIRs like APNIC and many other RIRs: https://www.apnic.net/get-ip/apnic-membership/how-much-does-it-cost/member-f... have a great and fair solution about resource holders. If you believe that only you and or RIPE is right then tell other RIRs should be sued! On Wed, May 15, 2024 at 6:16 PM Gert Doering <gert@space.net> wrote:
Hi,
It is really simple Gert! Split your resource with us who have only one /24, and you won't hear us complaining about this! I see that you have a "moto" (*have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?) *Why not release/return IPv4, and stay on your moto with IPv6 :) Where did you get "*Those that make an enormous amount of noise here are those that want all the benefits and have others pay for it*."?! Aren't we all paying the same fee of membership with one /24 a.k.a you 100+ /24? And because of this, we are complaining. You know, ripe uses database to store things/network etc, as per your logic, the database size is the same for /24 and for 100+x/24? If yes,

you/RIPE have my vote, if no, you should and members like you should pay 5-10x more than those with one /24.
So we're now making those that do properly document their end-user assignments (= lots of database objects) pay more than those who are sloppy in documenting? That does not sound like a really good idea.
And yes, I have understood your point, no need to repeat it another 473 times. YOU HAVE MORE RESOURCES THAN I HAVE SO YOU MUST PAY MORE.
No, this is not how membership organizations work - RIPE NCC is not renting out address space (and there are very good tax reasons against moving there).
