[GM] Final RIPE NCC Charging Schemes for Members to Vote On
by Ondřej Filip 24 Apr '24

24 Apr '24

Dear all, We have now published the final RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025 options that will be voted on by members at the General Meeting on 22-24 May. These can be viewed at: https://www.ripe.net/gm/meetings/may-2024/supporting-documents The outcome is that we propose three charging schemes for the membership to choose from: Model A: LIR fee increase 22.58% (projected income: EUR 41.1M) Model B: LIR fee increase 20.97%, Independent Internet Number Resource Fee Increase 50% (projected income: EUR 41.1M) Model C: LIR fee increase 16.13%, Independent Internet Number Resource Fee Increase 50%, addition of an ASN fee (projected income: EUR 41.1M) All models are based on the existing “one LIR, one fee” approach. The overall goal for the Board in proposing these models is to ensure that we have stability in the short term so we can fulfill the commitments of the RIPE NCC Strategy 2022-2026. And while we do this, we are committed to fully reviewing the charging scheme model in order to arrive at a more sustainable model that will meet the needs of the RIPE NCC membership well into the future. We have closely followed the discussion on the members-discuss mailing list, and we thank all who provided input there. We received over 300 mails from approximately 80 people during the discussions, and we recognise that there is a desire from most of those people to have a different model that differentiates fees based on resource holdings. However, we do not believe that this is the right year to change the existing model. The Board has started the process of carrying out a full review of the RIPE NCC’s funding and governance structures so that there can be a stable and sustainable funding model for the organisation. Our Board colleague, Remco, kicked this off with his article on RIPE Labs that starts the conversation with members and community about the issues we need to address and how we should go about doing that. Remco will also present on this topic at the upcoming RIPE 88 Meeting, and we hope you will participate at that time. His article is at: https://labs.ripe.net/author/remco-van-mook/building-a-stable-future-for-th… The Board does not want to make fundamental changes to our charging model while we are starting work to revamp our entire governance and funding structures. To make dramatic changes now, while we are likely to make big changes in the coming year or two, does not seem worthwhile or appropriate at this time, and it might make the job of properly reviewing our structures much more difficult. We understand that this will frustrate those who have argued vigorously for change this year. However, the Board has a responsibility to look after the long-term health of the organisation and we believe strongly that this is the way to do it. We encourage members to continue discussions on the mailing list, and also to contribute to the wider discussions on the long-term future of the RIPE NCC. We will also present on this topic at the General Meeting, where we expect to hear more input from members on the longer-term measures we need to take. In the meantime, we have tried to provide meaningful options for you to consider, and now we pass the responsibility to you, the membership. We ask that you take on this responsibility by registering to vote and participating in the General Meeting.

[GM] Draft RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025 Proposals
by Simon-Jan Haytink 10 Apr '24

10 Apr '24

Dear RIPE NCC members, We can now share three draft charging scheme models for 2025 that the Executive Board approved with the following resolution at its meeting on 25 March 2024: The RIPE NCC Executive Board approves the submission of the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025 options to the upcoming RIPE NCC General Meeting for members to vote on. - Option A - Charging Scheme as is with 22.58% price increase for the annual contribution per LIR account (EUR 1,900) and a 0% price increase for Independent Internet number resource assignments* (EUR 50) - Option B - Charging Scheme as is with 20.97% price increase for the annual contribution per LIR account (EUR 1,875) and a 50% price increase for Independent Internet number resource assignments* (EUR 75) - Option C - Charging Scheme as is with 16.13% price increase for the annual contribution per LIR account (EUR 1,800), a 50% price increase for Independent Internet number resource assignments* (EUR 75) and a new AS Numbers fee of EUR 50 per assignment *Resources falling under this charge are IPv4 and IPv6 PI assignments; Anycast assignments; IPv4 and IPv6 IXP assignments; and Legacy IPv4 resource registrations through a sponsoring LIR. The full draft charging scheme models are available from the GM Documentation page: https://www.ripe.net/membership/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2024/documentation… Although the proposed models are relatively simple, we provide a calculator where you can see exactly what you would pay under each of the proposed models: https://www.ripe.net/documents/3757/CS2025_Member_Calculator.xlsx The main considerations for the Executive Board in proposing these three models are: 1. The consolidation of LIR accounts, which means the burden to generate sufficient income must be met by fewer accounts 2. Increased costs due to inflation that were previously catered for by the large number of LIR accounts 3. Following the discussions last year and again this year, there appears to be no clear consensus among members on how a category-based model would work and the Board does not wish to put another category model forward at the upcoming GM that will be rejected by the members. Rather, the Board will propose a simple model that guarantees adequate funding for 2025 and 2026 - under this proposal, we expect there would be no need for a fee increase for 2026. The Board will work with the RIPE NCC on a more in-depth consultation with the members aimed at arriving at a sustainable solution for 2027 and beyond, possibly involving a new charging scheme task force. All three proposed models are designed to arrive at the same income of EUR 41.1 million for the RIPE NCC in 2025. This will cover all current services and activities, a 5% staff cost increase, a 2% inflation increase on all non-staff costs, and EUR 1 million for additional work relating to registry complexity and security projects aimed at ensuring the resilience of the Registry and the RIPE NCC more broadly. Any such additional work would be discussed with the membership during Activity Plan and Budget consultations and then need to be approved by the Board. This will also allow some leeway should more LIR accounts close than we expect. It’s important to note that the RIPE NCC aims for an income budget that will provide a surplus, and this means that should we meet our budgetary targets, a surplus can be returned to members in 2026 should they so wish. While the RIPE NCC continues to carry out cost-cutting efforts across the organisation, drastically reducing the budget at this time is not advisable due to the work that needs to be carried out, especially in relation to maintaining high-quality registry services and securing the registry and RIPE NCC systems. Cutting services or activities is not something the Board is planning to do, and such actions would take time and need full consultation with the membership. An overview of the activities and services that the membership fee covers is provided below this email. I also urge you to see the presentation we delivered at the charging scheme open house in March so that the full context of the situation and the financial landscape we face is clear to you. The slides are available at: https://www.ripe.net/membership/meetings/open-house/ripe-ncc-charging-schem… Finally, I want to thank all those who have contributed to the consultation so far on the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025. The models we present here are draft and in two weeks we will announce the final proposal that members will vote on at the GM on 22-24 May. Please discuss the draft proposal on the members-discuss(a)ripe.net <mailto:members-discuss@ripe.net> list - any input received by 19 April can be incorporated if possible into the final models we propose. And make sure to register for the GM so that you can vote on the charging scheme that will apply for you and all members next year: https://my.ripe.net/#/meetings/active Simon-Jan Haytink Chief Financial Officer RIPE NCC Services and Activities Covered by the Member Fee - A trusted, efficient, accurate and resilient registry that guarantees uniqueness of resources held by members - Neutral information services uninfluenced by commercial or government interests that allow both the RIPE NCC and the community to carry out useful research into the Internet - Engagement activities, including RIPE and regional meetings, that build an active membership and community and that contribute to the overall good of the Internet - A voice and influence for the membership in key decision-making fora, including with governments and regulators - Protection of the Joint Internet Number Registry as developed by the Internet community - Learning and development activities that help to address skills shortages and contribute to an educated membership - Support for the Policy Development Process (PDP) - An authoritative registry of routing information provided by RPKI and the RIPE Database - K-root and DNS services - A dedicated staff with considerable expertise contributing to all of the above
