If you do not endorse current policy, why did you not bring it up before? RIPE are non-profit, all the members make all the decisions. WE run RIPE. Best Regards, Stuart Willet. From: members-discuss [mailto:members-discuss-bounces at ripe.net] On Behalf Of Schnabeltier Sent: 24 February 2020 17:42 To: members-discuss at ripe.net Subject: Re: [members-discuss] Membership Fee Question Dear colleagues, since the annually fees are for the membership only and not for a very specific product or service, one needs to pay them from the first day on, that is a very common thing. However, for LIRs it was always possible to choose a quarterly payment scheme – for more than 20 years. This unfortunately changed recently which I do not endorse because it makes harder for newcomers to get and adopt IPv6.

I am not aware of any associations or organizations where a membership is pro-rated if you do not stay a member for the duration. Any benefits that you receive as a member are perks for being a member. > > Mahalo! > James K.
