[ppml] clarification of IPv4 and IPv6 fees

[Scott Leibrand]

Lee,

Can you provide us an update on this?  As the topic has come up again on 
PPML, it would be great to see a final decision along the lines you 
described (that when temporary waivers for IPv6 have expired, that 
subscriber members will pay the greater of their IPv4 or IPv6 fees, not 
both), and to get http://www.arin.net/billing/fee_schedule.html updated 
accordingly.

Thanks,
Scott
