Hi Everyone,
In the US all non-profits must disclose the individual salaries of senior management. RIPE does not even though it functions effectively as a nonprofit. I think more transparency is due in this respect given that RIPE is also a monopoly and has a budget of $40 million versus $33 million for ARIN and twice as many employees and contractors as ARIN. The need for transparency takes precedence over privacy in such a situation. Moreover, I know there has been great rank and file ISP dissatisfaction with RIPE's fees (expressed on the message boards of national network operator groups like the French one) and skepticism about whether RIPE's costs are justified. In addition, RIPE's annual financial format is constantly changing. So there is a general lack of financial transparency. These are easy problems to fix Regards, Roderick. -- Roderick Beck Network Capacity Sourcing - Broker Mobile: 00-36-70-605-5144.
