Hi Tore, The cost for services is something that isn't discussed on the APWG, but on the member-discuss mailinglist. Cost changes are to be decided in the (RIPE meeting) AGM meeting and the current cost for a LIR sign-up is 2000 euro setup and 1300 yearly maintenance. It is not possible to change the cost for LIR sponsored PI via a policy.
I also note that the Impact Analysis warns that this policy may lead to increased fees for members, which would be an undesirable consequence. I don't feel that the members should be sponsoring the non-members; equal access to addresses from the last /8 should mean equal monetary contribution to the NCC.
Does that mean that you want the sponsored PI assignments get the same cost as a direct assignment (1300 euro yearly maintenance per object) ? Snip from your email:
In principle, I support this proposal.
(Just to be clear: I am not stating neither support or opposition to the proposal.)
Which one is it? Regards, Erik Bais
