[members-discuss] RIPE NCC Charging scheme task force announcement

Dear colleagues,

As announced, the RIPE NCC Executive Board has initiated a Charging
Scheme Task Force to look at the principles of the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme.

The task force will have the following objectives:
- Define the principles of future Charging Schemes
- Propose an improved process for the annual Charging Scheme discussions
and adoption
- Set a pricing structure for several years for legacy address space holders
- Advise the Executive Board on a discussion or resolution for the RIPE
NCC General Meeting in April 2011

The task force will not discuss or set any actual fees or prices.

Participants of the Task Force
------------------------------
To have an efficient task force, the group will be limited in size. The
group will consist of participants from three groups, namely:
- RIPE NCC Executive Board - Remco van Mook, Dmitry Burkov
- RIPE NCC members - Eva Ornberg, Filip Herman, Olga Fomina, Piotr
Strzyzewski and Vladislav Potapov
- RIPE NCC staff - Jochem de Ruig, Andrea Cima

The Executive Board has selected from each membership category (Extra
Small, Small, etc.) one member by drawing lots from those who
volunteered. The RIPE NCC staff have informed the people involved and
will organise the task force.

Because there has been a lot of interest in the charging scheme, there
will be a separate mailing list (cs-tf at ripe.net) for all those
interested and those who want to be informed and discuss this topic.

The task force will report back to this mailing list on its progress.
You can subscribe to the charging scheme mailing list at:

Nigel Titley
Executive Board Chairman
