[members-discuss] A Whim about next year's fees

Hi Lu,

I was thinking the same.  Why shouldn't we all be billed for the amount we are using and may'be pay a fee for the amount that has been reserved and not used?
I'll take this with me to the Taskforce currently brainstorming on Billing matters.

Kind regards,

Hi Colleagues:

Just had a whim about next year's membership fees, since Ripe will almost certain running out this year, why shouldn't we divided the membership fees as the percentage of the total recourse we have?(mostly IPv4)

The total amount of Ripe's IPv4 is known, and by end of this year, the total amount of each LIR's IPv4 is known as well.

So why should we just simpy do a math as LIR total amount address(L)/Ripe's total amount of address(R)*100%*Ripe's total need(TN)=Lir's yearly contribution(C)

So make the format simple:

C=(L/R*100%)*TN

Then I think it is "real fair". And as calculate the member fee based on the share of member in the organization's recourse's, it doesn't imply as "selling IP" rumor which has been the main reason we have categories rather than real fair solutions.

How you think, my colleagues, and this is just my 2 cents thought.
