[arin-discuss] Suggestion 2010.1 -- Initial Fee Waiver for IPv6assignments to LRSA signatories

[Brian Johnson]

I oppose this proposal as it maintains the current divide between legacy
space and "regular" space. If a legacy holder wants IPv6 space, they
would need to sign a regular RSA and join the rest of us.

Subject: [arin-discuss] Suggestion 2010.1 -- Initial Fee Waiver for
IPv6assignments to LRSA signatories

 

I have submitted a formal suggestion to the ACSP recommending that the
BoT waive initial

assignment fees for IPv6 when the applicant is a legacy resource holder
that has signed

the LRSA.

 

I believe this helps remove most of the barriers to entry for legacy
IPv4 holders to migrate

to IPv6 and is in the best interests of the community.

 

ARIN has informed me that the matter will be placed on the Board's
finance committee

agenda.  As such, I would like to encourage members here who have an
opinion on the

matter to let the board know what you think, ideally by posting a
message to this list.

 

 

Owen

 

 

Below is the message I received from ARIN and the original suggestion I
submitted:

 

Owen,


This is in response to your suggestion noted below and assigned number
2010.1.

Thank you for your suggestion relating to charging no initial fee
related to request for an initial IPv6 allocation and/or assignments for
Legacy Holders that have signed the ARIN Legacy Registration Service
Agreement.  As this relates to fees, this will be added to the ARIN
Board's Finance Committee agenda for 2010.

Some other information related to this suggestion is that the current
IPv6 waiver for allocations for initial requests and renewals in 2010 is
a 50% fee waiver. For requests in 2011, the allocation fees will be 25%
waived. 
In terms of assignments, the initial fee is not waived.  Clients
requesting assignment resources pay an initial fee per request of
address space and thereafter pay annual allocation or maintenance fees
related to the Organizational ID as a whole. Initial fees are to cover
the effort related to reviewing and analyzing the request, whereas
maintenance fees are designed to cover the overhead of maintaining
objects in the database.

Recent changes were implemented in mid 2009 for organizations with both
ARIN-issued and Legacy Resources. They are assessed an Annual Fee based
on the ARIN-issued resources and not charged the Legacy resource
maintenance fee.

ARIN is reliant on its active membership to help it better serve the
community and we want to commend you for your continuing activism and
service.

Regards,

Member Services
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)

ARIN should offer legacy holders that sign the LRSA the opportunity to
receive an appropriate IPv6 allocation or assignment for no initial fee.
The applicable standard renewal fees would apply thereafter.
