[members-discuss] Billing scheme

If I understand you correctly, you're asking what the current fee is, and whether there's a discount (a "free year") if you pay multiple years in advance?

I don't think there's such a discount, as the member fees of future years haven't been determined yet. But, you can always ask RIPE :)

As for the fees in 2019, see:

https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2018/supporting-documents/ripe-ncc-charging-scheme-2019
(or https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-704 it seems to be the same)
