Dear RIPE NCC members, I want to remind you that this Wednesday, 20 March, from 10:00-11:30 UTC (11:00-12:30 CET) we will have an Open House where members can give their input on the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025. You can register to attend now at: https://www.ripe.net/membership/meetings/open-house/ripe-ncc-charging-scheme... This open house will kick off discussion on the charging scheme and will give the Executive Board valuable input ahead of its meeting on 25 March, where it will decide on the draft charging proposal it will present to the members. All those who register to attend will receive a Meetecho link to participate in the open house on Wednesday morning. This year, we want to receive input from members before publishing any draft charging scheme. We believe this will help to arrive at a good proposal well in advance of the General Meeting. To help with discussions, we also provide a consultation page where members can see relevant facts and documentation about the charging scheme as well as the financial landscape the RIPE NCC is operating in. We will develop this page with further information as the consultation progresses: https://www.ripe.net/membership/mail/member-and-community-consultations/char... We look forward to your involvement in this important process for RIPE NCC members.
