For me I don't care where the money goes. A DFZ routing slot is costing 
money, it's just not costing you money, it's costing "everybody" money, 
and the cost is that we need routers with bigger FIB sizes the more PIs 
there are. This has nothing to do with the cost of running RIPE NCC or any 
other RIR.

For me, I don't care if you donate the money to cancer research or 
physically burn it and spread the ashes, as long as it's costing an 
adequate amount of money to use this common resource (DFZ slot).
