Is there a distinction between end-users and ISPs in legacy 
address assignments/allocations?

I don't know how it might affect opinion on this suggestion, 
but I would like to point out that the Legacy Registration
Services Agreement (LRSA), which defines certain rights for 
signers, will not be available after June 30, 2010.
https://www.arin.net/announcements/2010/20100115.html
If this suggestion were adopted, there would be a limited time
for organizations to sign the LRSA, though early signers would
still be eligible.

Yes, you're right:  https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html#waivers
Note that organizations issued (or transferred) both IPv4 and IPv6 
allocations by
ARIN under a single Org ID pay the larger of the 
two annual renewal
fees.

Okay, so if I have a legacy assignment and sign an LRSA, then get more IPs and sign an RSA for those I still only pay the $100 a year for everything or do I pay ARIN’s regular fees since I now have an RSA for my new allocation?

So the IPv6 resources this fee waiver suggestion would apply to would be covered by the RSA.   It would not be an ongoing distinction, though, as it would only waive the initial assignment fee, not ongoing maintenance fees.

>In terms of assignments, the initial fee is not waived.  Clients requesting assignment resources pay an initial fee per request of address space and thereafter pay annual allocation or maintenance fees related to the Organizational ID as a whole. Initial fees are to cover the effort related to reviewing and analyzing the request, whereas maintenance fees are designed to cover the overhead of maintaining objects in the database.
