Andrew,
impact, as they align with our current business practices. Option 3 would require PI End Users to have a direct contact with the RIPE NCC. As this would be a new venture for the RIPE NCC, we expect it would be the most labour intensive of the three options and would have the greatest impact in terms of resources.
could you please clarify whether options (1) and (3) would differ in resource consumption and why? Option (3) makes no indication regarding cost recovery. Setting the legacy resource holder debate aside, is the expectation that option (3) would provide the service free of charge, billed on hours incurred or by a fixed fee? Given that the current charging model is flat, but does not have to remain flat in the future, is a subscription model feasible? (a subscriber is basically a paying customer receiving the same services as a member, whithout having the rights and duties of a member)). -Peter, as an individual
