[ppml] Annual Maintenance Fees

[Member Services]

At the ARIN X Public Policy Meeting held in Eugene, 
Oregon, October 30-31, 2002, a discussion about adjusting 
maintenance fees was held. There was general agreement 
amongst the attendees that the maintenance fees needed 
adjustment. The minutes of the ARIN X Public Policy Meeting 
are available at http://www.arin.net/policy/pol_min.html.

At its January 10, 2003 meeting, the ARIN Board of Trustees
discussed the issue of adjusting maintenance fees.  It was 
the sense of the Board that since there was community 
support at the ARIN Public Policy Meeting to adjust the 
fees, the Board would adopt the fee change, and it could 
be further discussed at the ARIN meeting in April in 
Memphis, TN.  The minutes of the ARIN Board of Trustees 
meeting are available at 
http://www.arin.net/library/minutes/bot/bot2003_0110.html.

Beginning July 1, 2003, the annual maintenance fee will be 
$100.  In cases where  a single organization has more than 
one registration record in the ARIN database that is 
normally charged annual maintenance fees, only a single 
consolidated maintenance fee of $100 will be invoiced.
