You might well think that. However that doesn't mean it's true. And in this
case, you are completely and utterly wrong. Perhaps verging on the delusional.
The NCC does not and never has sold address space. It's a not-for-profit
membership organisation. It's not allowed to "make profits" in the sense that a
commercial undertaking does. In fact the NCC has special status under Dutch law
which prevents it from behaving like a for-profit enterprise.
Sometimes the membership fees raise more income than the annual budget
anticipated. When that happens, the NCC and its board) consults its members on
what to do with the surplus. From time to time the members have decided to
accept a rebate on their membership fee or have their fees reduced. The
membership decides, not the NCC.
Since you seem to represent an LIR (or more than one), you get to vote on these
matters at the AGM. The NCC's members -- ie the LIRs -- get to elect the board
and tell the NCC what to do. It's simply ridiculous to claim the NCC sets out
to make more money than it needs and keep all that extra "profit" for itself.
