I support this policy as written.

While fees are out of scope for policy, I’ll note there is still a $550
Transactional Fee for the issuance of an ASN, I think that is a
sufficiently large fee to discourage excessive use of ASNs.

Furthermore, given this policy makes the issuance of the first ASN for an
organization almost pro forma, maybe the board should consider waiving the
transactional for the first ASN issued to an organization. I think the
transactional fee for subsequently issued ASNs, even for Multiple Discrete
Networks, is appropriate.

Thanks.
