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.
