Short content description
-------------------------

This document defines the 1999 RIPE NCC charging
scheme.  The companion document 'RIPE NCC Activities
& Expenditure 1999' describes the activities and the
associated operational costs.  The charging scheme
is based on the model used in previous years.  This
model was approved at the 1996 contributors meeting
and has met with success.  Using the model we have
developed the charging scheme presented in section
two below.  Section three details further steps to
implement the scheme.  Section four provides details
of the reasoning behind this scheme both for the
record and those interested.

This document is presented for approval at the RIPE
NCC 1998 Annual General Meeting on Octuber 15th 1998.
