Hi Jan,

this is not a result of the activity plan. That is a reaction of the members, because the EB offered three, but actually similar proposals with a 20% increase and they didnt consider the voices in the last years. the members made a reaction by votiong for a proposal like this.

a LIR with more than 3% of the allocation organised by RIPE NCC pays same as a LIR who owns lower than %0,001 of the total resource of the RIPE NCC. 

So many of the voter voted for this because they find this and the desicion to propose sort of ilusion unfair.

I followed also this discussion, and this discussion was about the charging scheme, and yes, there were the signs of the reaction of the members..

To ensure the budget on shoulders of the smal LIRs without offering any other charging options, is not fair!

This wont bring a “stable future”.

representative democratic system the voters elect

to elect new representatives more accurately representing the
membership.

It is easy to foresee “cost reductions” being a quite popular agenda
item for any future board candidate. And that will probably remain
the case for a period of time longer than any individual board seat
election time.  Time will tell how it actually plays out.  In any
case, I will support a candidate who articulates ambitions to work
towards meaningful cost reductions.

I've been quietly following this whole discussion about the budget and I
don't understand how we (the members, GM) can approve the plan of
activities, projects and actions for the RIPE NCC and at the next
meeting we (the members, GM) cut down their budget.

In normal business world, this doesn't work like this :)

If you approve the activity plan - then you need to assure the budget
for it.

So the real discussion shouldn't be the budget and member fees, but the
activity plan - the budget needs to follow that. :)

Cheers, Jan
