Ted - 
 
  That raises an excellent set of questions with respect to any
  fee structure change, specifically - 

  - Should ARIN's future fee structure consider ARIN's long-term 
    revenue requirements for a post-IPv4 world?

  - Should ARIN's future fee structure be based on current conditions,
    recognizing that it can be updated/refreshed as circumstances 
    changes (e.g. as suggested by Bill Herrin w.r.t IPv6 treatment)

Thoughts?
