The plan I envision is quite simple, move from the current Flatrate charging scheme to a system that charges members an amount for the resources they are using. This will ensure that each and every RIPE NCC member will pay their fair share.

1. Charge per allocated IPv4 address with a linear system.

price_per_ipv4 = required_budget / amount_of_addresses_in_use your_yearly_membership_fee = amount_of_ipv4_you_use * price_per_ipv4

Did you happen to read my reply to the thread. This is going to equate to almost no resources left as a /22 will cost roughly 24 EUR per year.

This will also apply to Provider Independent(PI) assignemnts, anycasting assignments and Legacy Internet Resources registered via a sponsoring Local Internet Registry(LIR).

You're going to be hard pressed to charge Legacy resource holders, BUT, even if you did, my above figure of a /22 costing 24EUR would probably be cut down to 16 EUR or less

IPv6 PI assignments and IPv6 IXP assigments will remain unchanged at 50,-- Euros per year.

Moot point here since the number of IPV6 resources avail.

If we ever reach a point where IPv4 becomes obsolete revert back to a Flatrate System as due to the nature of IPv6 a Flatrate system is a fair choice.

2. Increase the Setup Fee to an amount that reflects the current reality of the transfer market, 6.000,-- Euros.

Read the 2015 Budget, they collected slightly over 5 Million EUR in setup fee's, which got dispersed back to its members as a credit on next years bill, increasing the setup fee will simply act to lower, even further, the yearly cost. In 2015 Each LIR would have received 'roughly' a 415 EUR credit on their bill... So we might as well just not charge for IPv4 upto a /19 , and if you're going to up the setup fee's then we might as well make that a free /18.

3. Introduce an Inter-RIR Transfer Fee for resources that leave the RIPE Region so people don't flee with their resources into a cheaper Region, 3,-- Euros per IPv4 address.

If you do this, then it's a two way street. Not to mention that in the growing global age, you can't tell me every IP being routed to the ripe region is under RIPEs control. By adding additional hurdles folks will simply ignore, and announce their space globally from the originating RIR more so than they currently do now.

4. Buy Back IPv4 resources and return them to the free pool with any excess money from members that are willing to give back resources.

With what money are these bought back and at what price? Only to re-assign at a financial loss and then have to buy it back again? Grand scheme of things, everybody here is ignoring the fact that, with basically 21,000,000 EUR budget to disperse between all LIR's in RIPE you aren't going to change the world. Aside from a lot of keyboard warriors pounding away with random ideas that have no factual backings this thread accomplishes nothing.
