Alternatively, members could petition the RIPE NCC board to raise the New

Hi Alex,
Is this really a solution??? I am quite convinced that this will also
stop _a lot_ of legitimate companies from becoming LIRs.. RIPE region
covers area with very different economical landscapes. €20,000 (or even
€30,000) is not a small sum for a start-up in the "rich" side of the
region, at the same time it is very prohibitive sum not only for
start-up on the "not so rich" side.
Just my 2c.
