[ARIN-consult] Fee Schedule Change Consultation

[Scott Leibrand]

On John's slides, it outlines that the vast majority of organizations will
have fees reduced, and that the change will be largely revenue neutral to
ARIN.  So I wouldn't consider this an overall fee reduction, but I do
believe it makes the fee structure more fair, and better aligns the
self-interest of ARIN members with the various interests of the community.

Overall, I support the new fee structure.
