I see no benefit to the community from requiring people to consume extra IPv4 just to get a free IPv6 assignment. (Well, actually, I do see a small benefit in exhausting IPv4 and getting on with transition faster, but, I don't think it's necessarily good stewardship).

You're right Owen, I was over-simplifying. My fear is that a total fee
waiver may hurt ARIN financially. Even free initial-assignments may
cause harm.

I don't have ARINs budget at my fingertips, perhaps a staffer can let
us know how much it might cost to make initial IPv6 assignments (to
end-users) free for a year and then half price for a year.

That would do two things: First, it lowers a potential barrier, pure
cost of assignment. Second, it puts a touch of urgency on initial IPv6
requests: "Hey boss, we have to at least get our assignment this year
if we don't want to be forced to pay later..."
