Where did the 10k come from? According the the 2009 billing scheme (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-437.html) the highest annual fee is €5,500. The FAQ makes it clear that new members are automatically assigned to the Extra Small billing category (http://www.ripe.net/info/faq/membership/newlir-billing.html#2), putting membership and the sign-up fee at €3,300. I don't remember the RIPE NCC trying to sell expensive extras like a car dealership. I'd be surprised if the prices quoted aren't the prices that everyone pays. Regards, Leo
