[members-discuss] New RIPE NCC Charging Scheme Models

Hello,

 > All contracts for any RIPE NCC products or services will be between 
the RIPE NCC and a member
Last few years it were additional contracts between LIRs and End Users. 
This thesis is not clear: will be the contracts between LIRs and End 
Users or they will be cancelled?


 > The RIPE NCC Executive Board will present a new Charging Scheme to 
the membership at the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) to be held in Vienna 
on 2 November 2011.
 >
 > In Model 1, there is no charge for PI assignments
 > In Model 2, each additional PI assignment incurs a charge of EUR 100 
per assignment. This charge is an increase from the current PI charge 
but better reflects the amount of work the RIPE NCC must do to 
administer and assign PI space.

There's no explanation in the new charging scheme how PI assignments 
will be calculated, If calculations will be the same as fot charging 
scheme 2011, charging scheme will be applied to the number of 
assignments at 30th september 2011. So, since 30th september till 2th 
november 2011 LIRs will not have any idea about final charging scheme 
but should sign agreements with End Users.
As for me, provided changes shoud be discussed for charging scheme 2013 
or discussion of the new charging scheme should be made before 30th 
september 2011
