[members-discuss] RIPE forces us to pay the bill unfairly

Dear Olena,

stop looking for sympathy here, you get none.

As you have written, you have 5 LIRs. It means that you probably have five times more IPv4 space that you deserved. As you might know, these addresses are reserved for late comers so they get at least some portion of the IPv4 space. Every thing else is just a tolerated abuse. Only unfair thing about this whole thing is that it is still tolerated (in the name of accurate database). So it is only fair that you had to pay for such "abuse" of (post-) last /8 space. These rules are there precisely because of that.

None of us late comers has got enough IPv4 space, but at least some of us are trying to play by the book. So please stop lamenting that you had to pay if you don't.

Sincerely,
Martin Hunek

>  It’s fair, as you see it’s divided into 2 parts, the membership, and for the yearly LIR payments which are divided into quartets. So you don’t pay for what you haven’t used, or if you decide to leave. I for example pay the LIR bill yearly. It’s less hassle  and remembering the payments due, and if you forget or get busy and don’t notice like it always happens with me as I’m holding the bag alone and walking, (somethings you just can’t trust anyone with, your wife, yourself, your money, and ip’s!) I want to even  ask for resources and I just keep missing that button! So fair? Yeah, in my opinion, it’s easier the whole year (-what you didn’t‘ think use of the time for newcomers)

>  But that’s my opinion, I’m still searching for the wife, finding where my money i, but at least I know me,  fully trust me! And never doubt it no matter. As my ip’s.... well they keep wandering around but get hold of them so at least I know they aren’t used  for any illegal or malicious purpose in anyway by anyone, hard, but not MI!
