If I’m asked to pay more I also want more voting rights. Consequence: the few big ones will dominate and steer RIPE in the direction THEY want. I don’t think that’s in the interest of those who yell at the unfair membership rate.
RIPE is fair because every member has the same right and the same one vote.
No, you're not getting more voting rights by paying more. It is common practice in membership orgs to charge members according to their category or size, and it's still 1 member = 1 vote. Sebastien Brossier
