<div dir="ltr"><div>Members,</div><div><br></div>If you provide a scarce resource at no cost - it will be abused. This happened with IPv4, in part, due to the fee schedule. <div><div><br></div><div>ARIN is providing scarce number resources at no cost to large organizations. Therefore the incentive to conserve or allocate those resources is absent. This isn't fair and equitable, nor sustainable. It's not too late to create incentives for members to make more efficient use of IPv4 allocations. </div><div><br></div><div>Small and medium organizations should not pay an extraordinary portion of the fees while large ones receive enormous additional allocations at no cost. </div><div><br></div><div>A switch to either; Algorithmic, Linear, or an Extended Fee Schedule will increase Fairness and Conservation. ARIN's mission is to be a steward of these principles. That should our mission too. Let's see it happen!</div><div><br></div><div>If you have yet to read the report John mentioned... It's eye opening.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Jon Daniels</div><div>ARIN Member</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 10, 2014 at 9:24 AM, ARIN <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:info@arin.net" target="_blank">info@arin.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Following the adoption of the current ARIN Fee Schedule on 1 July 2013,<br>
the ARIN Board of Trustees convened a "Fee Structure Review Panel". The<br>
panel recently released the "ARIN Fee Structure Review Report" which<br>
provides alternative long-term directions for the ARIN fee schedule,<br>
outlining the potential merits of each.<br>
