Within the RIPE community for example, many companies represented in voting have multiple votes, some more than 20. This means that of the five RIRs, _THREE_ have what is being refer to as "proportionate voting". That represents the majority.
Hi,
Only if they operate multiple registries/NCC memberships. e.g. different business units (MyCompany UK, MyCompany FR, etc.) may operate different LIRs, they pay their own sums, they get their own vote. Each LIR though has a single vote.
A single organisation with multiple memberships is very much the exception, not the rule.
Sticking my neck out here as a casual observer, hope this is not too rude - but I think the one member, one vote system is fairest.
