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

What does it mean "consider 1st quarter 2019" when the invoice is for
1st quarter 2018???
In 2019 will be another invoice for 1st quarter 2019!

It is not only unfair, but for me even unlawful to ask for the payment
for the quarter BEFORE the agreement was signed!

Was it really 1st quarter of 2018, not 1st quarter of 2019 (this case it
will be payment for one year really)?
