Hello, It's very interesting to see over couple of years that charging scheme stays the same https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2018/supporting-do... So on General Meetings people just can vote for this one or against it, If against - it stays the same as it was before, i.e. the same. So it's just voting without selection. The questions on GM was never rized up if we should - keep higher, - keep lower - or keep the same membership fees. Of course not much old LIRs don't care about membership fees. But all new companies who would like to become an LIR cares, and they don't understand at all how the systems works yet. So I advice and suggest that members take more part in control of NCC. This is the responsibility of current members. It will be good if more members take active part in such discussions. Juri On 12.04.2018 13:01, Hans Govenius wrote:
Hello
There is 153 staff memebers at RIPE and having OPEX of 7,5 meur in Internals means over 4000 euros per month per one staff member. That is indeed quite high for a non-profit organization and therefore it would not be bad for transparency to open up atleast the biggest individual items. With current information it is not possible for paying members to sufficiently control and oversee the expenses generated by operations.
Best regards,
