[members-discuss] RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2020 - Board Reasoning

I guess in order to get some good result of this discussion would be best if board manager add third option into list: "I am not satisfied with option a) and b) and want contnue discuss." Otherwise, not agreed members lost rights to use own voice and silently "confirm" a) or b) option which is not good and true. 

As here many times announced that ip volume based calculation is not suitable for setting RIPE membership fee i think we need discuss how resource based fee might set. Let's say that such fee setting procedure may include posiive/negative factors which allow set price for each member more clear way. For example there is real difference between small or new LIR who need more ipv4 to provide services to end users and old or big LIR. It is really unfair when big LIR with /20 or even more network will pay per resource same price like new or small LIR. Another way - to prevent unwanted discussion about old and new or small or big LIR's use resouce volume based fee's. Let's say LIR use 20 /24 resources and pay 10 Euro per each while another LIR with 100 /24 resources pay 4 Euro per each resource. That's fee listed only for example, board manager's should check how such sum's related with real situation. Main idea is that total amount of membership fee's should at least cover operational costs. With such fee's it is important to way of dividing big range to small. I guess dividing by netnum would be good and fair enough.

Best Regards.
