I can't confirm you wrote. Maybe the "run out of IPv4" can be effected 
into a shorter time but the registration will still the same work as 
right now up IPv4 is "sold out".

As for IPv6 - if RIPE NCC will be inteligent - the work can be reduced 
to a minimum as putting into an automatic job which will delegate for 
all IPv4 members a similar IPv6 range (based on the IPv4 block they will 
have). With that method you will delegate for all members - which don't 
have - a IPv6 range within 1 day instead of a lot of manual work ;) Same 
for PI space members as RIPE has the "Addressing Plan" for that resources.

Otherwise it is not up-to-date talking about "reduce the fees to 
members" as like for all there is a big increase. But let us know where 
+/- 3M EUR will going into ? new services, personnal, etc. ??? I guess 
it would be important to know it before the AGM as all members can 
thinking about what happend.

Sure both are spearated but the charging scheme - as the incoming fees - 
will be into the budget to be sure that it isn't deficit ;)
