Expenses per Activity

Overall, expense levels increase in 2011. For Membership Services, this increase is a result of the expected increase in the number of resource requests caused by RIPE policy Proposal 2009-03, Run Out Fairly. In addition, the RIPE NCC will further enhance its data quality and the procedures around its data quality and registration. For 2011, a continuous high level of Coordination Activities is planned to cater for all activities surrounding the depletion of the IPv4 address pool.

In line with one of the key strategies of the RIPE NCC to further the RIPE NCC as a trusted source of data, the cost for Information Services is increased in 2011. This increase is caused by the enhancement of the successful RIPE Labs platform and additional efforts will be made to further develop the RIPE Labs community. In 2010, the development of an active measurement network started, and in 2011 this development will continue. In mid-2011, the prototype will be analysed and a decision will be made on whether or not to develop a service from this prototype.
