+## Introduction
+
+We are working on several initiatives to improve RIPE community engagement, and RIPE NCC activities. We are looking for volunteers, and partners to help us with these initiatives.
+
+## Rules
+
+- All initiatives should be open, and transparent
+- Evolution, not revolution
+- Open for feedback, and suggestions
+- No populism, avoid any topics that might split the community, extinguish any conflicts, and keep the community united
+
+## Initiatives
+
+- [Ambassador program](/initiatives/ambassador/)
+
+## Initiatives proposals

+This is a list of initiatives that we are considering to start, but we need more feedback, and probably votes from community members, and partners.

+## Introduction
+
+Reason of current fee increase is the inflexible operational costs of RIPE NCC that they can't reduce and its Netherlands hiring (FTE) that was increased to too high levels while it was obvious the budget will drop.
+It should not happen again and this should be fixed. If there are hard times, it means we need to be able to adjust salaries/etc, because even if it sounds bad, it is just a choice of RIPE adjustments, or members will be forced to pay more and lay off their own employees.
+Fortunately for current situation, we might have better and painless solution: extending RIPE activities with existing workforce to increase sponsorship and value of RIPE NCC membership.
