I think a model like that would have > some interesting side effects on the governance of the IETF. Yes. That, of course, also was the idea of investing in your tax payments in medieval Bremen. But the influence was much more subtle than a board seat: paying lots of taxes gave you reputation, and that was input to the meritocracy that ran the city. Being the badly behaved rich parvenu didn’t help. .oOo. I was wondering whether a membership model might help, but that is even further along the axis of granting undue influence to those that can afford it. Let me mention anyway that I like ACM’s lifetime membership model [1]. Pay once, with an amount reducing in steps based on age, and that’s it. Needless to say: When I last had crossed one of these steps, I got one. But the IETF is not a professional organization, and the issue of being able to expense the contribution wins over most other considerations. Grüße, Carsten [1]: https://www.acm.org/membership/lifetime-membership (*): The current financial state of Bremen is mostly based on a federal decision in the 1960s that is extremely unfavorable to city states: income tax goes to your home state, not the state where you work. So many of the rich Bremen citizens (I haven’t looked up recently whether we still have the highest millionaire percentage in Germany) pay their income tax to the state of lower saxonia, outside of Bremen, where their countryside mansions are. Those “subsidies” are really stolen income tax (and only a small percentage). And, yes, those rich people send their kids to schools in Bremen...
