I don't think anyone disagrees about coming up with a realistic pricing discussion.
Good. Then the next question would be, what would you consider to be realistic minimum and maximum fees?
500 EUR minimum and 8000 EUR maximum seems realistic, and would bring the RIPE NCC closer to what the other RIRs are charging. I think that 500 EUR should be an absolute minimum: even after rebate, no one should pay less than that.
Could also have more categories, or have per IP pricing within a category to smooth things out further.
I've done a simulation with a base fee + per IP pricing (no categories): Member fee = min(500.00 + IPv4_count * 0.12, 8000.00) Total IPv4 ALLOCATED PA: 583973120 LIRs: 14027. Total fees: 21237786.40 Data from alloclist.txt, taking only ALLOCATED PA into account. Your category-based proposal also looks fine to me. Regards, Sebastien Brossier
