While I am not arguing against RIPE's (or ARIN or any RIR) fee, we are talking about 1400 Euro yearly, or roughly 100 Euro/month. Doesn't sounds a lot, but is quite a committment from what I can see. I am aware of clubs or organisations which are barely making a 0 at the end of the month or year in terms of finances. But I think you have a point, the question is who cannot afford it and who would actually be interested in it. To clarify this question, I've setup a small survey on https://ungleich.ch/u/blog/2021-12-23-ipv6-addresses-for-free/ > And if the registry or registries you propose are charging so much > less, or even free at the point of use, how can they provide a > resilient and robust set of registry and DNS services that will last > for as long as the users need?
