One big point is that the personnel expenses will growing up by 6,3% !?!?! I don't guess that each one will get more money at this amount. But why we need that high increase - more personnel maybe - but why ?? The work at RIPE will be the same as before without needing more personnel because LIR can be waiting without problem like one day longer for some requests too - isn't it ?
General Operating Expenses +10,8% ??? It is a joke not ?
Ask yourself, why no one from RIPE has over the past week added to the discussion here with the reasons and justifications for why they need to increase their budget.

Also note that the 9% increased budget is not up for voting. The only thing up for voting is the charging scheme. The 19MEuro budget is fait accompli. -Hank
