RIPE NCC operations generally and Internet Number Resource Certification,
RIPE Meetings and External Relations specifically.

Note: *
The reason that the figure for the RIPE NCC capital decreases
between 2006 - 2007 is because the figure for 2007 includes
the one-time member rebate of EUR 2.5 million that was given
to members in 2007.
**The total expenses up to the year 2005
include the interest income
Expenses per Activity
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: Implementation of a new Content Management System
to improve the usability and accessibility of the RIPE NCC’s websites,
redesign of the RIPE Database, additional RIPE meeting costs and External
Relations activities.
