[members-discuss] Sign-up fee for additional LIR account

I'd imagine because those holding larger resources voted for the revised
2015 charging scheme (https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-620) - and
those holding smaller resources forgot to vote.

I've no idea why the 2015 policy was introduced. A single flat fee per LIR
in no way encourages those hoarding unused resources to hand them back. A
flat fee per /24 on the other hand does. This would penalise large resource
holders - ultimately forcing them to relinquish resources or pass on/absorb
costs with their own customers.

The whole trading market would disappear when there is an associated cost
with sitting on resources waiting for a buyer.

Its common sense. Why isn't it in place? Who knows.

It is simple, it is fair, it is effective.
This will solve the problem for twenty years.
I do not understand why we can not proceed in this way?
