Subscription customers are members of ARIN and continue to be,
as long as their subscription fee is paid annually.  It is not
required that subscription customers receive an allocation every
year to continue their membership.  It is included with their
annual registration/subscription fee.

Non-subscribers may join the ARIN membership by paying an annual
$500 fee.

Regards,
