[arin-discuss] ARIN registration fee data (was: Status of realigning the IPv6 fee structure?)

[Owen DeLong]

Looks to me like the current scope of the problem is limited to $406,000
in reduced revenue with an overall scope limit of $1,229,000+growth
total scope.

By that, I mean that if we simply declared /32 to be x-small and set the
fee at $1,250, the loss to ARIN in revenue from current holders 
would be limited to the 406 currently paying based on their IPv6
small status (or less) and that there is no possibility of it applying
to more than the 1,229 x-small IPv4 members (+growth) even if
everyone were to take up IPv6 resources tomorrow.

Would that be an accurate conclusion from the data, John?

If that is the total impact, then, I would actually support declaring /32
to be extra-small and would support subsequent policy to eliminate
the /36 as moot.
