With the risk of going sligthly off-topic here since address-policy is  
not about fees, do you care to eloborate on that last comment ? The  
RIPE general meeting is where the fees are dicussed and set and I  
can't find your name on the attendees lists for the last few meetings.  
If you would have paid some attention you would have noticed that the  
fees since 2005 only went down or have been kept the same.

And if you think this is "overly expensive" wait until we ran out and  
some market wether regulated/grey/black takes shape.
