Hi there,
Since RIPE can no longer provide every member with the resources they need, fairness is gone. Leaving the flat fee model can help mitigate this.
With the current proposition I see two issues :
1. The maximum fee used for calculations (10k€) is too low.
2. Fees curve is too flat : Base fee apart, for one member with just one /22 it would cost 768€. For a member holding a /8 or equivalent, it is a cost of 0,53€ per /22.
That's a really big discount. I can accept a ten times volume discount, but a 1500 times one?
My attempt :
The general idea is to say someone in top category (/7) will have 16x price reduction per block as per someone in (/22). In category /8 that would be 15x, /9 14x etc.
Then we scale to the 30M€ budget + 10M€ of base fees.
That gives, base fee included :
| 500 |
none |
| 786 |
/24 to /23 |
| 818 |
/23 to /22 |
| 850 |
/22 to /21 |
| 924 |
/21 to /20 |
| 1,136 |
/20 to /19 |
| 1,518 |
/19 to /18 |
| 2,196 |
/18 to /17 |
| 3,407 |
/17 to /16 |
| 5,588 |
/16 to /15 |
| 9,545 |
/15 to /14 |
| 16,780 |
/14 to /13 |
| 30,100 |
/13 to /12 |
| 54,768 |
/12 to /11 |
| 100,686 |
/11 to /10 |
| 186,560 |
/10 to /9 |
| 347,812 |
/9 to /8 |
| 651,711 |
/8 to /7 |
The fee of one member of the highest category will represent about 1.5% of total income (we have 4 such members, see table in tab #2 of the Model_A spreadsheet).
Compared with figures from the chart about other RIRs that make a fee /10 a bit below LACNIC.
