Eh, I conclude that ripe actually is trying to push network operators to become a LIR, while actually those should be seperated functions, a LIR can just be an office with no network whatsoever, just like an insurance agent doesn't run the insurance company. Although they have done this for quite some time (asking our clients rediculous questions such as wether they would not rather become a LIR themselves eventhough they only operate a network for their own services).

Good morning, dear colleagues! Thanks for your message. I have read on a site the information be relative Charging Scheme 2010. There are some questions for me. I ask the help in the explanatory. Questions: 1) " - Direct assignments will have a recurring charge per assignment and the fee will be EUR 50 per direct assignment" - It mentions only PI? or PA? or PI+PA? 2) "fee will be EUR 50 per direct assignment" - It every month a payment? or every quarter? or for a year? 3) "fee will be EUR 50 per direct assignment" - It is payment for what quantity of addresses (50EUR= ? IPs)? 4) " - Direct assignments will have a recurring charge per assignment and the fee will be EUR 50 per direct assignment" - Operates for all direct assignments? or Only new direct assignments (included after 3 May, 2009)? I shall be very grateful for explanatories. Thanks for the help and understanding. Yours faithfully, Natalya

The fee is just a kludge to make sure that RIPE can recover the resource when the assignee lost interest in it.
Instead of asking 50 euros per assignment per ??year/month/cow/whatever??, it would make more sense to check if assignments are actually announced and if they are not, delete them after 3 years or so.
RIPE policies separate address assignment from (capital-I Internet) routing, so this can't work.
also with the introduction of 32 bit AS numbers and IPv6 neither PI space, nor AS numbers are going to run out anywhere within our life time, so actually i don't see the point of even keeping them linked to the current points system at all, let alone introduce new fees.
There are two opposing opinions on this matter. One side claims we're moving towards scarce resources. The other side claims exactly the opposite. (I'm siding with the latter.) We should move this discussion to the address-policy working group mailing list, but I think the topic has already been hashed out over there. -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99

Eh, I conclude that ripe actually is trying to push network operators to become a LIR, while actually those should be seperated functions, a LIR can just be an office with no network whatsoever, just like an insurance agent doesn't run the insurance company.
Although they have done this for quite some time (asking our clients rediculous questions such as wether they would not rather become a LIR themselves eventhough they only operate a network for their own services).

so this is a "solution" to a non-existing "problem"..
besides, anyone looked at their concept-contract? it's like 3 meters long! wtf..

this is the key point. Visibility of any (including PA) network from $point_of_Internet is NOT a mandatory. Some PI is only from interconnecting N networks and not for global routing. And also, due to current Internet structure, you can't garant global reachability of any network. You can see it through looking glassess - "full view" size some times more than 10% different from LG to LG.
so this is a "solution" to a non-existing "problem"..
If you know how to catch dead DAs other than recurring fee - where you was when 2007-01 was in discussion phase?
besides, anyone looked at their concept-contract? it's like 3 meters long!
We have own contract for DAs, it is accepted by RIPE NCC hostmasters. It has only 4 pages.
our "contracts" are usually verbal and go like "we will register some PI space for you, if you pay us EUR 2500 "Administration fee" for the work
OMG! Our fee is 10 times less :) and 100 EUR annual as for the biggest case in 2010 charging scheme proposal. Anyone are welcome! =) Anyway, how you are catching your dead DAs, if any? -- WBR, Max Tulyev (MT6561-RIPE, 2:463/253@FIDO)

Some observations on the announcement.. If RIPE are going to put out an announcement that will end up creating a lot of discussion it would be helpful to provide more clarity rather than just create confusion. Aside, as a whole these changes to administration of PI space have been confusing and difficult to follow, IMO. 1. 50 EUR per what time period? 2. It's not clear if this is the LIR fee or end user fee? 3. If the charging score is only going to be based on PA space then some re-jigging of the numbers might be in order. For example, as a SMALL LIR with some PI and AS for customers we'll will still be classed as SMALL if we have both the smallest of both a single v4 assignment and a v6 assignment. My point here is that as soon as a new LIR takes some v6 PA space it's going to cost them more money to jump up from EXTRA SMALL to SMALL. What motivation here is there for new members to start looking at v6 straight away? It gives additional cost for doing v6 but there may not be a business case for a small provider. At least when PI and AS also contributed there was some direct attached cost relevant to the business associated with customer revenues on those PI/AS objects.

I really like this conversation!! I myself also have some questions, some are the same than yours, but I hope I know some answers as well - but these are y answers, and of course they are far far away from being official, just my reading! I guess that 50EUR per year would be charged to the LIR (if the end user is not in contractual relationship with RIPE - which is I think the case in this context!) But what is the moment in time when the LIR is elected to pay this fee? The end-user can change the LIR during the year - can not he? Anyway - this will costs some for the end user as well, but that fee will be charged by the contracted LIR. What happens to the LIRs with quarterly and yearly fee schedule? Should there be any difference? I guess no... 50EUR per end user, or per database entry, (providing that I hit the bulls eye with the one year period), orper transaction? What happens to the assignments which are assigned and deleted within the same billing period? I consider the not-aging PI resources logical... although the billing procedure and the cost estimation will be much more difficult. Maybe two bills would be better, or at least two lines on the bill, one for the yearly fee, and another for the currently introduced per-entry fees - or a complete detailed bill which enumerates all the unique assignments.

Annual.

LIR. As 2007-01 it is on the LIR decision how much to charge their DA customer. We decided to charge 100 EUR, for example.
3. If the charging score is only going to be based on PA space then some re-jigging of the numbers might be in order.
The main score is only going from PA allocations. -- WBR, Max Tulyev (MT6561-RIPE, 2:463/253@FIDO)

According to the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 the 50 Euro per resource applies to IPv4 and IPv6 PI Assignments, AS numbers, Internet Exchange Point and Anycasting Assignments. PA IPv4 and IPv6 Allocations will instead determine the member billing category.
2) "fee will be EUR 50 per direct assignment" - It every month a payment? or every quarter? or for a year?
The 50 Euro fee per Assignment would be charged on a yearly basis. With regards to payment terms, you will receive the invoice according to the Billing scheme chosen by your LIR (quarterly, half-yearly, yearly invoices).

I have stated it before and I'll state it again - changing the billing rules retroactively is wrong. Maybe even EU legally wrong. Allocations made in the 1990s should not be billed. By all means recover unannounced allocations by whatever means necessary, but charging LIRs for allocations made in 1995 is wrong. Regards, Hank Nussbacher

It's not charging retroactively. Retroactively charging for the PI space would be sending invoices out for every year from '92 to to date, which is not happening. What is happening that the price has changed from 0 to 50 EUR/year (well, the draft price). It's like an update of pricing or the terms and conditions, so you can consider to either give your allocation back and won't be charged in the future or you'll pay the price. This has nothing to do with retroactively charging. It's just a change of the fee from now and on.

mind you that PI registrants never agreed to any contract that allows "price changes" and that "choosing" to have their allocations removeed instead of either paying a LIR, with whom they would usually have an agreement that only covers a one time payment, or several thousand euros to ripe directly, OR GIVE UP THEIR ALLOCATIONS and therefore cause significant damage to their business :P is pure blackmail. you cant first tell someone "sure we will register ip sppace for your company, please pay 2500 euros which covers our work and the first 2 years in which potentially our ripe-score could be affected by this registration (PI and AS numbers only count for 2 years in the score), and then go "oops, now you have to either pay a few 1000 to ripe OR a few hundred to us (most customers have as numberrs AND PI space)"... thats blackmail. -- Sven Olaf Kamphuis CB3ROB DataServices Phone: +31/87-8747479 Skype: CB3ROB MSN: sven@cb3rob.net C.V.: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cb3rob Confidential: Please be advised that the information contained in this email message, including all attached documents or files, is privileged and confidential and is intended only for the use of the individual or individuals addressed.

you cant first tell someone "sure we will register ip sppace for your company, please pay 2500 euros which covers our work and the first 2 years in which potentially our ripe-score could be affected by this registration (PI and AS numbers only count for 2 years in the score), and then go "oops, now you have to either pay a few 1000 to ripe OR a few hundred to us (most customers have as numberrs AND PI space)"...

LIRS are NOT isps!
Not every LIR is an ISP, a lot of them are. If you assign PI to somebody else, you have a provider/enduser relationship. That makes you a service provider of some sort. Be it internet, content or hosting.
the "product" bought from a LIR is the registration of IP space, usually at at one-time single payment that covered the increase in the billing score for 2 years if applicable and the administrative work.
there are no "services" or "products" a LIR normally sells.
You have to have a contractual relationship with the enduser that has PI now. You know that, right ?
and there also is no question of "circumventing ripe membership fees" as those only apply to LIRs (that is, people willing to register IP space for others).
Or entities, that don't want to deal with a LIR.
the fact that -most- LIRs are part of an ISP or even some ASPs that fell for ripes jedi-mind-trick and became a LIR themselves, doesnt mean they HAVE to be part of an ISP.
There are very few LIRs, that aren't providing some commercial product. And even then 50 EUR/year is compared to the money they probably pay for connectivity: near to nothing.

The first idea and the shortest way - via RIPE PDP process. The second is at the formal stakeholders (i.e. LIRs) gathering. Hank Nussbacher wrote:

profitability does not come into question.
LIRs distribute IP space according to -need- not to -profitability-
also, customers of a LIR usually have agreed to pay the -registration- fees of the LIR, in some cases they may have paid nothing at all

also, PI allocations on IPv4 are usually pretty small anyway and not worth "recovery" as opposed to some old PRE-RIR blocks which are also assigned to ripe, held by some larger organisations, which are usually not even routed on the internet or severely firewalled.

Please read http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-452.html . This is a result of work done by RIPE members, not the RIPE NCC. Every LIR is a RIPE member. The RIPE NCC is not a for profit organisation and it has to report to the RIPE membership. If the revenue from the PI charges generate so much income, that they make a huge profit, that'll mean that the LIR charges go down, it's as simple as that. Charging for PI is what has been proposed to force unused ressources to be returned, this is a draft, if you don't like it, you might want to vote against this or maybe participate in a workgroup to come up with a better proposal. At the end of the day, the membership has to approve or disapprove this. That is at least my understanding. So you might want to show up, when it gets voted for or against.

indeed, charging money for ip space is not allowed, which is why we only billed our one-time administration fee, no provisions for further recurring payments or continueing contracts where ever made. and indeed, ripe has in the past also actively commented on a lot of isps asking money from customers that wanted to have additional ips from their PA space (hosting, access, etc), and is now suddenly expecting us to do the same.

If "natural person" want to - even pays. Any bonuses worth the money. Sometimes a lot of money. And I do not understand why someone should receive ASN & PI free when I pay for the ASN and PA money.

That may be true, but the validity of these requirements is actually laid out through legislation. RIPE, however, is not a governmental body or democratically legitimated (legitimation only by members doesn't really count), so what we're debating here is the policy of an organization, not a law. In that case it is difficult to change a policy which previously held unlimited validity. If there was however a clause defining that the policy may be superseeded at any time, then it can be debated that it was the responsibility of the sponsoring LIR to make corresponding contracts.

it doesnt but the PI requlations do specify that the -use- has to remain in accordance with the orignal reasons for which it was requested. which basically boils down to: ripe can only remove such allocations if they are no longer in use for their original purpose, they cannot try to fork money out of existing PI/AS users, or their LIRs, so yes, as long as the original request criteria are met, they are -forever- (before we registered our first PI block I even called and asked them if PROVIDER INDEPENDANT space would not cause recurring fees for us, and they said no. (besides the showing up in the billing score for a short time, which ofcourse is calculated into our one-time administration fee.)

The answer lies in the lack of limitation. As far as I know, any type of agreement cannot be changed unilaterally unless that was clearly provided for.

Any agreement in any case would be until further notice. As there was no contract and thus no way of telling how long you'd have the ressources. Matter of fact is, that nobody owns the number-ressources. If it was a matter of ownership, sure, but it's not. It's a service. At any given time, you'll have the number-ressources on borrowed time and can be happy if you have them free for as long as you had them free. But there has at no time been the case of ownership. And with a service, that can change, be there a written contract or not. It just has to be announced in due time and that has been done.

The question in times of customary trademark claims and everything is more like, would a LIR bet the existence of their company (potentially) on the likelyhood that any given judge agrees with the RIPEs vision of their services and their obligation to provide them.

Again. Differentiate between RIPE and the RIPE NCC. RIPE is the LIR membership. The RIPE NCC handles the ressources and actions the policies, that have been worked out by the RIPE membership (the LIRs). If you don't like it, participate in the workgroups. I'd say with a contractual relationship, there's actually certainty. Because before that, if you had PI and ASN ressources from a LIR that has gone bust, you'd never know how long you'd keep them after the other ressources are returned due to liquidation. Now there is at least a clear procedure and you can even choose to have a relationship with the RIPE NCC and not a LIR. It just has a price tag. The upside of that, if a lot of organisations do that, it'll drive our LIR fee's down.

That's perfectly fine with me (except that I think exceptions should be made for organizations like SwissIX). I am merely suggesting that there are going to be problems with the fact that these fees are also going to be applied to existing assignments, and that "IP addresses are not property" may not be the opinion a judge chooses to share. As I said before, the RIPE NCC is no legislative power. But I guess there really is no need to debate that, it's more like a "sit back and watch" situation.

No, actually, I think you are making a perfect point, that IXP ressources maybe should be excempt.

Thanks for correcting me on that one. I tend to forget that. Doesn't change the fact though, that the policies actioned by the NCC are worked out by RIPE, which is the community, not the NCC. It also remains the fact, that if more money is generated from this charging scheme and the NCC turns out to make a profit, the LIR fee's will have to go down. So at the end of the day it's only about reclaiming unused PI. The balance on the money for LIRs will stay about the same unless you abused the system.

Hi, Sven.
the "product" bought from a LIR is the registration of IP space, usually at at one-time single payment that covered the increase in the billing score for 2 years if applicable and the administrative work.
I am one - do not understand why the "one-time payment? Make a new contract, to collect 50 euro and all. Who does not want to pay - let them pay in RIPE.

That doesn't work for all cases. There are for example things such as non-commercial internet exchanges - the SwissIX for example comes to mind. The SwissIX owns a PI /24 IPv4 network, a /64 IPv6 network and an aut-num for the route server. Since all fiber and switches are sponsored by association members, the connection fee is 0.- With the advent of the new charging scheme, RIPE now suddenly does want (they refuse to make an exception as far as I know) to charge SwissIX the regular fee for PI ressources - which sums up to EUR 150.- per year as far as I can tell. This is not something which can be "reclaimed" from a customer, though - it is simply money a free-of-charge non-profit internet exchange does not have. (And SwissIX is not totally negligible - after all, the 10 locations which are distributed over 2 countries are currently exchanging an aggregated 5 Gbps. With the opening of two new sites in Basel, this won't go down either.) Following your suggestion would mean to ask all non-profit internet exchanges to become profit oriented. I don't see the point in that though. Kind regards, Tonnerre PS. Hello to all those out there who do not want to receive this mail.

Honestly this discussion is pretty much about chump change in the bigger scheme.
From today onward it makes total sense to charge 50 or even 200 Euro per allocation - at least then the LIR knows the cost, the end user knows the cost.

Here you hit the nail on the head. Most ISPs will just pass the cost onward to the end user. As you said - it is chump change. And most of the 5000 LIR members don't even waste their manpower discussing this since the time spent is not worth the cost savings. But not all LIRs are commercial ISPs - some are non-profits. Back in the dark ages, before ISPs knew about multi-homing and BGP, ISOC-IL acted as a LIR and assigned ASNs to organizations needing multihoming in Israel. Dozens pre-1999.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi! Stupid question: 50 EUR / year / allocation -> ok But in addition the billing score will grow as the PI / ASN assignments in the past years only came into scoring once. Now they will be a permanent scoring point, right? Cheers, Patrick Am 19.06.2009 08:40, schrieb Hank Nussbacher:

The product that the customer buys of the LIR should be giving more than 50 EUR/year revenue, if not, you might not be in business for long.
Honestly this discussion is pretty much about chump change in the bigger scheme.
From today onward it makes total sense to charge 50 or even 200 Euro per allocation - at least then the LIR knows the cost, the end user knows the cost.
The ones that get hit are the ones that abused the PI scheme to not pay for PA or RIPE membership. For everyone else it's pretty much something that falls under the table. It's 4.17EUR/month per allocation. If you don't make that kindda money of your PI customers on top of your cost, your business isn't viable. And yeah .. you can just charge it on to them or eat the cost. Latter wouldn't make a difference to the customer as long as they are with you.
Here you hit the nail on the head. Most ISPs will just pass the cost onward to the end user. As you said - it is chump change. And most of the 5000 LIR members don't even waste their manpower discussing this since the time spent is not worth the cost savings.

It's not charging retroactively. Retroactively charging for the PI space would be sending invoices out for every year from '92 to to date, which is not happening.
What is happening that the price has changed from 0 to 50 EUR/year (well, the draft price).
It's like an update of pricing or the terms and conditions, so you can consider to either give your allocation back and won't be charged in the future or you'll pay the price.
That would be true from about 2000 and onward when there was terms and conditions. Back in 1992 or even 1996 there were no terms and conditions in this regards. From a certain point onward the T&C changed whereby you agreed to any future changes. -Hank

I have stated it before and I'll state it again - changing the billing rules retroactively is wrong. Maybe even EU legally wrong. Allocations made in the 1990s should not be billed. By all means recover unannounced allocations by whatever means necessary, but charging LIRs for allocations made in 1995 is wrong.
Well, as someone said, this is from now onwards only. Yet this is the goal - to charge for everything, for these in use and for these kept "just in case". Money can trigger some changes in peoples' minds and switch them from "grab as much as you can" mode into new one, which can be "keep as little as you really need and try to conserve as much as possible" I reckon it is too cheap. I can not imagine any running business, in fact large scale business which needs PI and can not afford 50 EU per year! This is not 50 grant, is it? Regards Dariusz Margas
