[ARIN-consult] Consultation on ARIN Fees

[Owen DeLong]

> The 732 customers who have over the past decade have entered into an LRSA with ARIN have done so for a variety of reasons:
> 
> - They’d like to have some clear legal documentation of their rights to the asserted entries in the ARIN registry 
> - They desire some newer services that ARIN does not provide except under RSA (e.g. RPKI) 
> - They wish to support ARIN as an organization and feel paying ’their share’ is reasonable and customary

- They wanted to do the right thing in a time when it was fee per ORG for end users and a single ORG could have
both RSA and LRSA resources such that there was no additional cost to having both, so why not.

Unfortunately, the board actively worked to alter this circumstance and continues to make the situation worse
and worse for organizations who signed on this basis.
