[ncc-announce] [GM] Draft RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2023 and Draft GM Agenda

Dear RIPE NCC members,

The Draft RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2023 has been published. The 
Executive Board proposes to continue with the existing model for next 
year and increase the annual fee to EUR 1,550. This will allow us to 
cater for a likely reduction in the number of LIR accounts and 
accommodate rising costs while maintaining our service levels for 
members and community. Members are encouraged to provide feedback on the 
draft charging scheme on the Members Discuss mailing list.

All supporting documents for the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) May 2022 
are now available at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2022/documentation-and-archive

The documents include:
- RIPE NCC Annual Report 2021
- RIPE NCC Financial Report 2021
- Draft RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2023

We ask members to read these documents and provide feedback on them on 
the Members Discuss mailing list or during the GM itself.

The draft agenda with resolutions to be voted on is also available at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2022/agenda

The agenda will be in draft form until two weeks before the GM. Until 
this time, members can propose resolutions, which will need the support 
of 200 members. Members can also email the Executive Board at 
<exec-board at ripe.net> to suggest resolutions.

The Board asks that questions or comments be sent ahead of the GM to 
<agm at ripe.net> to help ensure an efficient meeting.

An election will be held at this GM to fill two seats on the RIPE NCC 
Executive Board. There is currently one confirmed candidate. The 
deadline to nominate candidates is Wednesday, 27 April 2022. All the 
details are available at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2022/eb-elections

Onsite and online participation is available to all members, including 
webcast, live chat and electronic voting. Registration can be completed 
quickly and easily via the LIR Portal:

Kind regards,

Hans Petter Holen
Managing Director
RIPE NCC
