In the GM a few weeks ago, resolution 4 or the proposal for charging 50 eur/ASN, which was presented by NCC management and supported by the board, I believe, was not adopted. The 67% of the membership votes cast or approximately 1500 votes were against.

Hi Marco, There are good reasons to clean up unused ASN16s, as they are categorised by policy as scarce resources. There isn't a compelling reason to get as excited about ASN32s, other than to say that normal good stewardship practices should apply. Unfortunately there is a disconnect between RIPE policy and RIPE NCC practice in regard to charges for ASNs. This is a real shame because paying for resources is one of the simpler ways of creating positive pressure to return them if they're unused. The community would benefit from the board re-thinking this.
