Executive Board Decisions for RIPE NCC General Meeting October 2009
by Nigel Titley 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Dear Colleagues, Following discussions at the May 2009 General Meeting and on various mailing lists, I would like to inform you of the decisions the Executive Board has made and the proposed resolutions for the October General Meeting regarding: - The Proposed Charging Scheme 2010 - Voting for elections of Executive Board members The proposed Charging Scheme 2010 ------------------------------------------------ The Executive Board proposes to follow the principle of RIPE policy 2007-01, "Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC". The proposed Charging Scheme (Version A) includes a fixed fee per independent Internet number resource assignment. However, the RIPE NCC Executive Board notes that there are different opinions on the implications of charging for independent Internet number resources. Therefore, in the event that the proposed Charging Scheme (Version A) is not adopted, the RIPE NCC Executive Board provides for an alternative Charging Scheme (Version B) based on the current Charging Scheme 2009. Version B increases the service fees such that the total revenue generated would equate to the total revenue generated by Version A. The Executive Board would like to stress the importance it attaches to the RIPE NCC continuing to adhere to RIPE policies developed and agreed by the RIPE community. We feel that the alternatives outlined above meet this requirement. Voting for elections of Executive Board members -------------------------------------------------------------- The Executive Board acknowledges the strong interest from RIPE NCC members in being able to vote via electronic means. The Executive Board proposes allowing for electronic voting but initially only for the elections of Executive Board members. The electronic voting will take place at the same time as the on-site voting during the alloted time in the General Meeting, which will in future be webcast. This will allow all members to try out the new procedure and system, and it will provide all of us with information on whether this increases the participation of members. In the future, if a successful system is established, we will extend electronic voting to other resolutions. The agenda for the General Meeting, including links to the supporting documentation, is available at: http://www.ripe.net/membership/gm/gm-october2009/agenda.html Best regards, Nigel Titley Chairman of the RIPE NCC Executive Board
