Well, in fairness, I signed the LRSA on the pretext that it was effectively free to do so and it was the community-minded thing to do.

The board subsequently didn’t just raise fees, they restructured the entire way in which fees are computed, to the detriment of LRSA signatories.

Obviously, I can’t speak for most of those who have been smart enough to reject the LRSA, but I will say that most of the ones I know have been early IPv6 adopters and look forward to a day when IPv4 is no longer significantly relevant as an internet technology.  Certainly, nobody can credibly accuse me of being involved in the avoid IPv6 movement.
