Gert The ASN cost for us would have had practically no impact – we only have two and I suspect we’re getting rid of one at some point.
However the other costs that the charging schemes suggested would have cost us thousands – and that simply wasn’t acceptable Michele -- Mr Michele Neylon Blacknight Solutions Hosting, Colocation & Domains https://www.blacknight.com/ https://blacknight.blog/ Intl. +353 (0) 59 9183072 Direct Dial: +353 (0)59 9183090 Personal blog: https://michele.blog/ Some thoughts: https://ceo.hosting/ ------------------------------- Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd, Unit 12A,Barrowside Business Park,Sleaty Road,Graiguecullen,Carlow,R93 X265,Ireland Company No.: 370845 I have sent this email at a time that is convenient for me.

I wasn't talking about the previous AGM but about the one where the pre-existing ASN charges got abandoned. Talking about the *last* meeting, I think most of the members are just not very good at math... introducing a charge for ASN *with a given total budget* would have *lowered* the overall bill for most members, holding only 1 or 2 ASNs (redistributing the overall budget differently). But "nah, can't have extra costs!!!!". Yes, a few would have had to pay way more, but I think that's legitimate - if your business is "doling out ASNs to end customers", you'd better have "oh, it might cost money at some point" in your contracts - and in that case, the extra costs directly go to the end customers wanting the ASN.
