In addition to the  comments below I think idea to have multiple bank accounts in different countries  just to make some members proud because  paying in local currency will make entire service more expensive for nothing.

In addition adding more bureaucracy is never good.

We should look how to simplifying things not overcomplicated. The current option paying in euro is the best possible option.

About the earlier emails and comments about training, quality of service etc.  

Honestly who is perfect, but  have you ever worked with others e.g. ARIN? Believe me it is not the same,  RIPE  is much better and always happy to help you.

Regards and have good day

Subject: [EXT] Re: [members-discuss] [ncc-announce] [GM] RIPE NCC Annual Report 2017 and Proposed RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2019

I completely agree. The Membership  in Russia was 150k rubles in 2014 and 255k rubles is now. The annual fees were 60k  rub in 2014 and 100k rub now.

Hello,

It is better to pay in our region in Russian rubles, in Europe in Euro, in England in pounds. All RIPE community should think about change not only about membership service fees, but and about currency per region.
