Referring to the May 2023 v2 doc:
https://labs.ripe.net/author/felipe_victolla_silveira/ripe-ncc-cloud-strategy-framework-v2/
I notice there is no mention of IPv4 or IPv6 address usage and its cost.
Why do I think we need to discuss it?  Because of this recent article:
https://labs.ripe.net/author/dan-fidler/aws-introduces-charges-for-public-ipv4-use/

If AWS has now introduced a $43/IP/yr cost, we can assume every cloud 
provider will follow suit.  So what is the IP usage concept for RIPE 
NCC?  Use cloud provided IPs?  BYOIP?  If so, does NCC have a big enough 
pool or will you be buying IPv4 from the marketplace?  Or will you only 
be using IPv6?  I think the Cloud Strategy Framework document v3 needs 
to address these points.
