There have been calculators during the discussions, in Excel form. Personally, I dislike the calculators. They reinforce the mindset of "I'll vote for what allows me to pay the least".
This is a membership organization and not some company we try to buy as cheap as possible from. In my opinion the voting should be about what we think is the fairest model and the one that allows RIPE NCC to function for the years to come. I happen to think that the category model is the fairest one, but there are good arguments either way and each member needs to decide on that for their own. And yeah, I know that mindset is wishful thinking. ...just btw: nobody helds you or others from donating from your pocket to RIPE ß)
A calculator just helps bringing in more transparency to members who are - whyever - less active in the scheme discussion. To understand whats "fair" such a calculator can and probably will help such voters to decide more wisely/informed. just my .02 € niels. -- --- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT & Internet https://www.syndicat.com PGP: https://syndicat.com/pub_key.asc ---
