My objection isn't even on the current method if "sizing", but on the 7%
budget increase, when ....

541,000 on RPKI for a "routing database" because (apparantly) people dont
trust the existing database (which costs 844,000) - and hasnt the project
been canned anyway ?

427,000 on "outreach" - it's a RIR - what advertising does it need to do ?

989,000 on measurement - presumably the usb "dongles" project - why exactly
are we wasting members money on this ?

Simply junking those items and you've saved nearly 15% for a start
