From info at arin.net Mon Jul 1 07:00:52 2013 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Mon, 01 Jul 2013 07:00:52 -0400 Subject: [arin-announce] New ARIN Fee Schedule Implemented Today Message-ID: <51D16164.3060601@arin.net> Today ARIN implemented the new Fee Schedule adopted by the Board of Trustees on 7 January 2013. The new Fee Schedule: > Aligns the IPv4 and IPv6 fee schedules for ISPs into a single set of registration services plans based on total resources held > Includes a per-address block and per-ASN maintenance fee schedule for end users > Adds a new, very low cost category (i.e. XX-Small) for the smallest organizations > Increases transfer fees and clarifies the associated costs These changes help to balance overall fees so that customers receiving comparable services are paying comparable fees where feasible, and to reduce, where possible, the costs for smaller ISPs. The new Fee Schedule is available at: https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html Please review the Fee Schedule FAQ for details on the changes: https://www.arin.net/fees/faq_fee_schedule.html ARIN resource holders may view an estimate of annual fees using a fee calculator tool within ARIN Online. To access this tool, log into ARIN Online and select "BILLING INFO" on the left-hand side. Select an organization linked to your ARIN Online account, and select the "fee" option from the right-hand side. The fee calculator is provided as an aid for registrants to determine the potential amount of their annual fees. We do not guarantee its applicability or accuracy in regard to your individual circumstances. If you have additional questions, please contact billing at arin.net or submit via Ask ARIN, while logged into your ARIN Online account.

The IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey is now online, and we encourage all members of our community to participate: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2013 The purpose of the survey is to better understand where the Internet community is going, and what can be done to ensure it is ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. We hope this survey will establish a comprehensive view of current IPv6 penetration and future deployment plans for IPv6. This year's survey is similar to those conducted in previous years (2010, 2011 and 2012), and will enable a comparison of progress. What is clear is that community participation does contribute to a better understanding of how IPv6 is being used. In 2012, 91% of the over 1,500 respondents indicated that they were interested in participating again in the 2013 survey. This survey has a maximum of 30 questions and will take about 20 minutes to complete. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments, or have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be fewer in number. The survey will be open for a month and will close on 31 July 2013. Results of the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey will be presented and discussed widely, with the support of your Regional Internet Registry (RIR). We appreciate your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please send an email to info at gnksconsult.com.
