Expenses

The expenses per activity show an increase for Membership Services as a result of the continued development of the RIPE NCC Member Service Desk and data accuracy activities. In addition, the expenses for Membership Services show an increase due to the new activity to support routing security.

The expenses for Co-ordination Activities are substantially lower as most K-root global nodes have been deployed. For 2006, only one additional K-root global node is budgeted. The RIPE Meeting expenses show an increase due to an estimate increase in attendee numbers.

The overall expenditure for Information Services remains in line with the 2005 budget.
