Dear Simon,
Has anyone from RIPE said that the budget is 12M? 15M? 18M? Is just just speculation on the part of one member?

We are looking at increased costs largely because we expect the "run out fairly" and IPv4 depletion measures to result in much more work for registration services. In addition we are throwing more resources at Ipv6 outreach. We've set a deficit budget to try and compensate and reduce the fees to the members. Full budget (and charging scheme details) will be available well in time for the AGM. As has been mentioned, though, the budget and charging scheme are actually separate (although related) issues.
