I don't see this in the proposal.  What does happen if an ISP gets a /19,
and then fails to pay?  Also, I think this needs to be reworded more
clearly:

  The annual subscription fee will be based on the total allocation of
  address space received in the previous year. ISPs receiving
  address space for the first time will be charged a fee based on the size
  of the initial address space allocation. The subscription
  fees will include inverse addressing (in-addr) service, updates, and
  maintenance. 

>From this, I assume an ISP wanting its first /19 from ARIN will have to
pay $2500 up front, and then $2500 the next year.  It seems obvious that
if they refuse to pay at all, they won't get the /19, but what happens if
they fail to pay the second $2500?  Does in-addr service get suspended for
the block or blocks that ISP uses?
