[arin-announce] New ARIN Transfer Fee Effective 1 January 2017

[ARIN]

Beginning 1 January 2017, ARIN will collect a $300 USD, non-refundable 
processing fee for each transfer request of Internet number resources, 
including:

     * 8.2 Merger, Acquisition, and Reorganization transfers; billed to 
the source (or legal successor) organization.

     * 8.3 Transfers to Specified Recipients within the ARIN region, 
billed to the source-side organization. The Transfer processing fee is 
waived when the subject resources are under an existing Registration 
Services Plan (RSP), and no specific transfer processing fee will be 
charged to the recipient-side organization.

     * 8.4 Inter-RIR Transfers to Specified Recipients, a fee is billed 
to the source-side organization if within the ARIN region. This transfer 
processing fee is waived when the subject resources are under an 
existing Registration Services Plan (RSP).  No specific transfer 
processing fee will be charged to recipient-side organizations.

This fee will be invoiced to the source organization's billing Point of 
Contact (POC) and are to be paid before request evaluation begins. It 
will replace the current $500 resource transfer fee on the existing fee 
schedule. https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html

Transferred resources will be subject to annual fees as stipulated by 
the fee schedule, including registry maintenance fees or corresponding 
Registration Services Plan. Additional fees may apply based on the 
status of the source or recipient organization at the time of transfer.

This change arose out of a community consultation, which is available 
for review at:
