Following the analysis of RIPE NCC membership growth so far in
2004 and the feedback from the Membership Growth Survey, a net growth
of 9% is projected for the year 2004, as compared with a net growth
rate of 7% in 2003.
More information about the RIPE NCC Membership Growth Survey can
be found at:
http://www.ripe.net/membership/growth-survey/index.html
Conservative growth estimates assume that this growth could increase
by 2% over 2005, with a total net increase in membership of 11%.
The total expenses budget for the planned activities in 2005 is
10.7 MEUR. This is an increase of 4% from the 2004 budget and includes
a special expense of 50 kEUR or 0.5% of total expenses for unforeseen
activities. Total revenues of 11.2 MEUR will cover all expected
expenses and are expected to lead to a slight surplus of approximately
0.5 MEUR for 2005.

Expenses
The expenses per activity show an increase for Membership Services
due to the RIPE NCC Member Service Desk and the data integrity projects.
The expenses for Co-ordination Activities are higher due to an increased
ICANN fee and the expenditure allocated to the K-root global nodes.
The overall expenditure for Information Services has been reduced.
The operational co-ordination and costs for these services have
been redistributed to more efficiently use these resources.
