If that's the case I don't think that's a reasonable expectation of anyone who took the time to get the address space and roll it out. I, for example, addressed all my infrastructure on ipv6 to the exclusion of ipv4. Saying in order to maintain a specific rate I have to swap out my /32 for a /36.<BR><BR>I think the /32s issued before the /36's were available should be charged at the xsmall rate. I didn't respond to Owen earlier but in my case my ipv4 is xsmall but my ipv6 (which was the smallest I could get) is "small" so orgs like mine will be getting a defacto rate increase as I will be charged for my ipv6 small and not my ipv4 extra small. Ipv6 is not monetized by most people but I will be paying an extra 1200 for it because the goal posts were moved as someone earlier mentioned. <BR><BR>>> <BR>>> I'm suggesting December 31, 2012 to hopefully create a small incentive<BR>>> for X-small ISPs that haven't move forward to get their IPv6 allocation,<BR>>> to do so yet this year.

However, I equally believe it is time for Legacy IPv4 holders to<BR>>> step up to the plate and at least to start minimally contributing to the<BR>>> upkeep of the system too. I think the current Legacy RSA and its flat<BR>>> Org ID based fee structure is a pretty reasonable compromise.<BR>>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> ARIN-Discuss<BR>> You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to<BR>> the ARIN Discussion Mailing List (ARIN-discuss@arin.net).<BR>> Unsubscribe or manage your mailing list subscription at:<BR>> http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-discuss<BR>> Please contact info@arin.net if you experience any issues.<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>ARIN-Discuss<BR>You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to<BR>the ARIN Discussion Mailing List (ARIN-discuss@arin.net).<BR>Unsubscribe or manage your mailing list subscription at:<BR>http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-discuss<BR>Please contact info@arin.net if you experience any issues.<BR></DIV><BR></div></body></html>
