[ARIN-consult] Consultation on Transfer Fees Now Open

[Heather Schiller]

Request for clarification, if the source has an RSA/LRSA is the fee waived
entirely?  (that's how I read the paragraph)

"This fee would be
only be applicable to source organizations which do not have a
Registration Services Agreement (RSA) or Legacy Registration Services
Agreement (LRSA) when an 8.3 or 8.4 transfer request is submitted. This
fee change would replace the $500 Resource Transfer fee
(https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html) that is currently
collected at the end of the transfer process for approved requests."
