[ARIN-consult] [arin-announce] Fee Schedule Change Consultation

[Jesse D. Geddis]

Heather,

It is only loosely. There's a couple ways in which it veers way off that
I'm not sure is appropriate:
1. It has a 'cap' for fees and I don't think one should exist
2. It has a tier system that serves a purpose I'm unaware of. It seems at
best there should be a 'small' tier and an 'everyone else' that scales
directly with the size of their assignment.
3. Apparently the legacy holders pay no fees.

I'm pretty sure ARIN already uses the count of total addresses within an
ORG as the basis for the fee?  For example, if an org has 4 non-contiguous
/22's (a /20 worth of IP's) they bill at Small (/20-/19)

I do think the wording could be improved.. Allocation or assignment size
instead of "block size"

I also find it interesting that under the current proposed end-user
restructuring, a small multihomer that has a /23, a /24, and a /48 with an
ASN would have their fees quadruple from $100/year to $400/year while a
very large corporate legacy holder (e.g. Apple, HP, MIT) that still
refuses to sign the LRSA or ANY RSA would have their fees remain at $0.

Perhaps it would be worth while to consider as part of this fee
restructuring:

1.	Removing the fee exemption for legacy holders.
and/or
2.	Basing the fees on total address holdings rather than number of blocks.
