PDF
RIPE NCC

Document ID: ripe-427
Date: December 2007
Updates: ripe-397


The budgeted costs for 2008 are 11% higher than the budgeted costs for 2007. This is mainly a result of the increased staff levels necessary to support Internet Number Resource Certification, to improve data accuracy, to enable the RIPE NCC to expand its Membership Services and External Relations as well as to improve its Information Services.

Expenses

For the year 2008 the RIPE NCC has used a different methodology to estimate its expenses per activity. While in previous years this division was based on the FTEs per department, for the budget of 2008 the RIPE NCC has used an Activity Based Costing model. This revised model gives a better reflection of the division of the RIPE NCC activities.

Aside from the changes due to the new budgeting model, the following items had an impact on the expenses for the Co-ordination Activities category: increased coordination between the RIRs, additional RIPE meeting costs and External Relations activities.
