[members-discuss] Charging scheme 2025 proposal (logarithmic)

Hello,

I am one of those who think that the payment options offered with an imposing demand since 2023 are not correct.

It is possible that internet resources are not distributed fairly. And with that, membership fees are also unfair.

Similar to RIPE's membership models in the early 2000s (there is even an example of ARIN), it can be taken into consideration.

Or a fixed price policy should be implemented as it has been for many years. However, if this is done, it is necessary to avoid the policy of increasing wages every year. RIPE is an organization based on European territory. However, not every country generates income in EURO currency and their economies differ incomparably.

The main reason why RIPE increases membership fees every year is not a decrease in the number of members. This is due to allocating financial funds to different projects and products. As everyone has said, especially in the last 2 years, financial resources have been allocated to very bad designs.

RIPE must of course raise the financial resources necessary for its basic operation from the LIRs. However, it should produce ideas on different applications for projects other than this.
