Hi All,
IMHO, Smaller ISP’s can take the initiative with the move to IPV6 perhaps – we all need to build momentum and start to deploy IPV6 in a big way, and to put
in place 6to4 gateways and other such infrastructure to allow clients connected on IPV6 to access the whole Internet.
In many ways smaller ISPs have an advantage over the big ISPs who will have huge amounts of work to do in moving from 4 to 6. In marketing we all also need
to stop worrying about running out of IPV4 addresses and start to plan and put in IPV6 addresses. Clients should want to move to IPV6 – once moved across, then this work is done for the next 20 years or so. It has to be done, so we may as well get going and
promote IPV6 as the ‘New Internet’ which it is.
New networks should start on IPV6 – this way they can be ahead of the curve from the start and have a little pain now in learning new ways of doing things but
they save a lot of work later by doing this.
IPV4 addresses are worth a lot now but in time they will be obsolete as IPV6 becomes mainstream and we all need to work to make that happen. Replacing old IPV4
only equipment with new equipment that supports IPV6 fully is a great sales opportunity. We need to grasp the nettle and move ahead on this.
Regards
Ben

Hi Ulf,
As IP4 is limited resource sure it must have a fee, else how will the new commers can access to the IP4 while the large ISP’s have millions of unused
IP addresses which they have got from Ripe years ago. As a simple argument, we have an ISP in Turkey which even their license is taken back and they have 100K times more IP addresses then we have and nobody is asking tem to give the IP addresses back and they
are keeping the IP4 block as the fee they pay for membership is not important then the IP4 block they are keeping in hand.
Have a nice day,
Cenk Keylan

Have a look at
http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/faq/faq-general-resources
“IP addresses are a shared public resource and are not for sale.”
The fee you pay is not a fee for IP addresses, but a fee for supplied registration services by the RIPE NCC.
Please also remember that by making an IP address an accountable ressources and sticking a price tag onto it, taxability in the Netherlands will
change, yielding an approx. 25% increase in taxes (and fees).
Since I’m a little bit fed up with this discussion now I hereby request to make the fee a real membership fee for the RIPE association; one member,
one fee; budget divided by the number of members.
Best regards,

Hi Lu,
I was thinking the same. Why shouldn’t we all be billed for the amount we are using and may’be pay a fee for the amount that has been reserved and
not used?
I’ll take this with me to the Taskforce currently brainstorming on Billing matters.
Kind regards,
Filip Herman

Onderwerp: [members-discuss] A Whim about next year's fees
Hi Colleagues:
Just had a whim about next year's membership fees, since Ripe will almost certain running out this year, why shouldn't we divided the membership fees as the percentage of the total recourse we have?(mostly IPv4)
The total amount of Ripe's IPv4 is known, and by end of this year, the total amount of each LIR's IPv4 is known as well.
So why should we just simpy do a math as LIR total amount address(L)/Ripe's total amount of address(R)*100%*Ripe's total need(TN)=Lir's yearly contribution(C)
So make the format simple:
C=(L/R*100%)*TN
Then I think it is "real fair". And as calculate the member fee based on the share of member in the organization's recourse's, it doesn't imply as "selling IP" rumor which has been the main reason we have categories rather
than real fair solutions.
How you think, my colleagues, and this is just my 2 cents thought.
