Sorry Murat, but according to your logic “RIPE NCC is monopoly” why you are not argue to IANA ?? Or even more you can try to create one more RIR with much more fair resource allocation. As I see for you RIPE with its "unfair rules" so inconvenient to obtain registry service so nothing should stop you to create more fair organization. I believe companies with 20, 25 years contribution made existence of RIPE even possible will live here.

So main part of the members are member because they need resources. Which resources? The resources, which are unique! So yes, RIRs are monopoly! RIPE NCC is monopoly, because there is no place to get the resource for the europen region. And the people as you, they are working for large resource holders, of course want them to pay for the resource they use lower… Possibly all the costs will be paid from the small LIRs. Why because you are older in the world than the others… Stone age thinking!!! Doesnt work forever… You will see, it will change! If not, there wont be a “stable future” for RIPE NCC, as our EB tells… -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Murat TERZIOGLU PREBITS - Premium Business IT Solutions Bochumer Str. 20 D-44866 Bochum Telefon: 0234/58825994 Telefax: 0234/58825995 www.prebits.de<http://www.prebits.de> m.terzioglu@prebits.de<mailto:m.terzioglu@prebits.de> USt-ID: DE315418902 Am 15.05.2024 um 17:09 schrieb Gert Doering <gert@space.net<mailto:gert@space.net>>: Hi, On Wed, May 15, 2024 at 05:03:34PM +0200, m.terzioglu@prebits.de<mailto:m.terzioglu@prebits.de> wrote: You have: 10 x IPv4 Allocations 2 x IPv6 Allocations 2 x ASNs You will pay with the new charging scheme between 2600 - 2900??? yearly. Your 10 x IPv4 Subnets includes more than 400 x /24 IPv4 subnets. This has a commercial benefit. We have paid RIPE fees for over 25 years now. Maybe we have paid enough, and only the newcomers should pay now? Silly arguments can be made in all directions. Than pay to our non-profit Organization, RIPE NCC, proportional as your commercial benefit from our "Internet" for community building, training, ATLAS, EB, Office, HR, etc... proportional from/for all the costs.. I've been around for a while, and helped build all this, which you want for free now. So, yes. We do pay for this, and we do not complain (except if they do silly "MOVE IT ALL TO THE CLOUD" proposals, or build ticket systems from hell). Using the whole Internet Resources so much as you have, but pay for that unequal... But I am sure, you think your benefit and want to pay for your resource as low as possible... This is a member organization. Every member has one vote, and pays the same amount of money. We're not paying for resources, we pay for membership. If you do not want to be a member, then don't. But then do not complain that you can't play with the other kids. Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
