I’ve done it. It got me out of the fee hikes and double-charging that were imposed as a result of the ARIN board’s fee-asco long ago.

Owen -

The “double-charging” that you allege was imposed by the ARIN Board of Trustees was actually self-imposed by you; i.e., you chose to maintain separate billing relationships with ARIN in order to continue benefiting from annual maintenance fee cap applicable to services for legacy IPv4 number resources.  This fee cap isn’t applicable to IPv6 number resources nor the registration services fee paid for an organization that consolidates resources under a single registration services plan including non-legacy resources.

This has been already discussed in detail on this list <https://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/2022-April/069518.html>, and alas your decision to maintain two billing relationships had you paying the same amount as all other customers based solely on the number resources in each distinct billing relationship – hence why the the assertion of “double charging” is false and a most inappropriate characterization.  Please refrain from such misrepresentation if you wish to continue participation on ARIN’s mailing lists, as the ARIN Mailing List AUP <https://www.arin.net/participate/community/mailing_lists/aup/> specifically prohibits the posting of false or fictitious statements.

Thanks!
