[news] Final Report Published: RIPE NCC Charging Scheme Task Force 2024
by Fergal Cunningham 09 Jul '25

09 Jul '25

Dear RIPE NCC members, The RIPE NCC Charging Scheme Task Force has published its final report, outlining the principles to guide the development of a charging scheme model for the RIPE NCC. You can read the report at: https://www.ripe.net/s/charging-scheme-task-force-2024/final-report/ Established by the Executive Board in August 2024, the task force was formed to define the principles and improve the annual discussion and adoption process. Following RIPE 782 guidelines, the group included RIPE NCC members, board members and RIPE NCC staff. A draft report was shared in April 2025 to gather member feedback and was presented at the RIPE NCC General Meeting in May. Following member input, the task force has now revised the report and submitted a final version to the Executive Board. The Executive Board will review the report’s recommendations. The RIPE NCC will draft a new Charging Scheme based on its principles, and though the task force’s work is now complete, its members will reconvene after the summer to review the draft charging scheme and check that it adheres to the principles set out in its report. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Head of Membership Engagement RIPE NCC
