[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-174 Policies Apply to All Resources in the Registry

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Isn't there a difference between geting invovled in the process and needing to sign a contract and paying for the priviledge?

And why should I have to pay if I wanted to give my C away to a charity?  And why should they pay to register it?  If the RIRs are a steward for the resources and they think it is important for everything to be registered, why make it harder?
