Dear colleagues, Members will vote on the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2020 at the General Meeting from 22-24 May. In response to requests from members, the Executive Board is proposing two charging scheme options that the members can choose from at the GM. An overview of the two options is also available that explains the two models in more detail. The overview and the two charging schemes are available at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2019/supporting-do... In short, the options that members will choose between are: Option A: The RIPE NCC will maintain the existing charging scheme, according to which members pay an annual fee of EUR 1,400 plus an extra EUR 50 per independent number resource assignment. Option B: The RIPE NCC will switch to a new volume-based, per registration charging scheme. This would involve lowering the annual fee to EUR 1,150 whilst broadening the applicability of the separate EUR 50 charge to all number registrations held by the member. See the full list of registrations that would be charged in the document. The existing sign-up fee of EUR 2,000 will apply to both options. We encourage members to discuss the options on the Member Discuss mailing list at <members-discuss@ripe.net>. The Executive Board and the RIPE NCC Management will follow discussions closely ahead of the GM. If you have not yet registered for the GM, we strongly encourage you to do so and make sure you have your say on which of two distinct charging scheme options should be adopted in May. Full participation and voting options are available for all members. You can register now via the LIR Portal at: https://www.ripe.net/s/gm-registration-may-2019 All details on the GM, including the draft agenda, are available from: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2019/ Kind regards, Gwen van Berne Chief Financial Officer RIPE NCC
