Gert, Keep in mind that IANA maintains all technical parameter registries, and assigns all protocol numbers and technical parameters. For reasons of separation they have a standalone budget. One could argue that risk that required this separation are less today, but personally I think that they are perhaps even greater now than then. My personal view is that the contribution to IANA / ICANN probably is justified for RIPE NCC and its members. The alternatives might well be cheaper, but perhaps not as palatable.

Maybe the paying stakeholders should start asking some questions... It's not like the NCC members are giving the NCC a free pass on all the moneys anymore. (I stand corrected, PTI budget is not 1 million, but 5 million... maybe I should just offer to take over IANA/PTI functions for just 4 million?)
