[members-discuss] GM topic + RIPE NCC Charging Schemes + RIPE sustainable future

There are more simple and more future stable charging scheme which to 
guarantee all members interests...

Anual LIR membership fee - 1400 Euro
One LIR can hold:
up to /18 IPV4 BLOCK (sum PA + PI)
up to /28 IPV6 BLOCK (sum PA + PI)
up to 16 ASN (sum PA + PI)

For each aditional resource the LIR holds:
1 x /24 IPV4 +10 Euro
1 x /32 IPV6 +10 Euro
1 x ASN      +10 Euro

If there are over collected money for 2025 - standard redistribution 
mechanism.
If there are miss for 2025 - Use the reserves and correct these +10 Euro 
to appropriate value for 2026.


This way RIPE NCC will guarantee a minimal budget to operate, small to 
medium LIRs will not pay the bill of the big resource holders, Those who 
unrational hold more valuable resources will be under little presure (if 
a LIR hold summary /8 IPV4 block the fee will be - 492 920 euro , 
/16 IPV4 BLOCK 3320 euro, seems resonable price).

Some members may start to think how to optimize their resource usage and 
I hope those nearly 500 new LIRs who are in the waiting queue for 
resources may start to receive something.

RIPE NCC Will have much sustainable future, because the budget will rely 
on two factors, and future budget increasing can be easy correct by 
correction of the additional (+10 euro) resource fee.

This way also will attract new members, and will decrease the rate of LIRs 
consolidating.
