Hi John,

One of us isn't understanding the other. I'm not sure which.

1. Under the ARIN fee schedule, a non-legacy end-user under RSA pays a
$100 annual maintenance fee.

2. Under the LRSA draft a legacy end user pays a $300 annual maintenance fee.

3. Under the LRSA draft an end user pays no more than the non-legacy
end user holding the same resources.

All three statements can not be true at the same time; it's a logical
contradiction. So, which one is falsified by the others?

Thanks,
Bill Herrin
