  As this is talking money, benefits (or not) and activities of the NCC
  again, could we/you please try to use the proper terms?!
  Otherwise we get more confusion that we can handle.

  - RIPE does not have members.
    RIPE is the vehicle to support participation of the community in
    actvities related to the Internet in our region.

  - the individuals participating in RIPE do _not_ pay anything
    (other than in relation to attending RIPE meetings).

  - the RIPE _NCC_ is a membership organisation. Members do have a service
    contract with the NCC and pay for _all_ services rendered by the NCC;
    i.e. including those which are available to the users and
    organisations on the Internet.

  Thanks for your consideration.
  Regards,
