Dear Nikos, Thank you for your e-mail. At this moment we are charging IPv4 PI and AS numbers according to the billing score algorithm. An AS number or an IPv4 assignment are worth a number of points and the total number of points will determine your billing category. In the Proposed Draft Charging Scheme 2010 we are proposing to change this into a recurring fee of EUR 50 per assignment. If this proposal is approved all independent resources won't add up to the billing score like they do now, but they will be charged EUR 50 per resource (assignment or AS numbers). You can find more information about the billing score algorithm here: http://ripe.net/ripe/docs/charging2009.html -- If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Please explain us what "- Direct assignments will have a recurring charge per assignment and the fee will be EUR 50 per direct assignment " exactly means, because we do not understand it.

[Apologies for duplicate emails]
Dear Colleagues,
The RIPE NCC is currently formulating the Draft Charging Scheme 2010. The Draft Charging Scheme 2010 will take into account the requirements of policy proposal 2007-01, "Direct Internet ResourceAssignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC", and the discussions that took place at the RIPE NCC General Meeting in May 2009 regarding the 2010 Charging Scheme.
The main features of the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 will be:
- As in previous years, there will be five membership categories - Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large - The 2010 fee for each membership category will be the same as for 2009 - An algorithm will determine a score that decides what category a member belongsto - The score will be based on Provider Aggregatable (PA) IPv4 and PA IPv6 allocated over time - Direct assignments will have a recurring charge per assignment and the fee will be EUR 50 per direct assignment
The RIPE NCC will publish the DraftCharging Scheme 2010 at the beginning of July 2009. The RIPE NCC Executive Board will then monitor discussion and input from the RIPE NCC membership before publishing a final version of the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 by 9 September 2009. The RIPENCC membership will vote on this version at the RIPE NCC General Meeting on 7 October 2009.
The RIPE NCC notes that this proposal for the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 is subject to change based on advice from the RIPE NCC's lawyers on tax and legal issues.
Membership discussion of the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 proposal can take place at <members-discuss@ripe.net>.
Best regards,
Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
