[members-discuss] RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2016 Discussion

Nigel, Sander,

I would rather prefer option 2:

> 2. The Board could take a two-step approach to the Charging Scheme. In
> May, members would vote on individual issues such as charging for ASNs.
> The result of the voting would then be used to create a Charging Scheme
> that would be voted on in the usual way by members at the November GM.

This approach is more balanced as for me and it allows to produce the charging scheme
proposal that is better reflect the expectation of members.

By the way, does the Board have any financial appraisal of proposed amendment of the
Charging Scheme?
