There will therefore be two resolutions on charging at the GM:
- Members will be asked to vote to approve or reject the Charging Scheme 2016 that was published on 24 March: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/ncc/gm/may-2015/supporting-documents
- Members will also be asked to vote to approve or reject a resolution that would instantiate a EUR 50 charge per ASN
Nigel, thanks for bringing this in as a voting item on the agenda. I believe this to be the best way to resolve the issue in the long term. There are ~27000 asns assigned by the RIPE NCC. Assuming a €50 annual charge, this will raise additional revenue of approx. €1.3m or around €120 per LIR. If the NCC membership votes in favour of a charge for ASNs, could you clarify whether this additional revenue will be: 1. used to drop the 2016 LIR charge from €1400 to around the €1300 mark, 2. retained as a surplus by the RIPE NCC, 3. returned to the membership by way of a future credit, as outlined in the last GM, or 4. something else. thanks, Nick
