In my opinion, in the legacy case, the purpose of the fee<br>
is to ensure that someone stands up once a year and says to<br>
ARIN "Yes, I'm still using that resource and it still has meaning<br>
to me. My contact information is still correct, thank you."</blockquote><div><br>If the LRSA was written to that effect and nothing else (except perhaps acknowledgement of the whois/rdns services et al as consideration), I'd already have signed up. I think I could very quickly get over the $100/yr fee, even if it does feel a little high for the load a single-/24 guy like me represents.<br>
<br>As it is, though, the LRSA contains provisions for potential seizure of the resource's ultimate destiny. That's what makes it unattractive. I'm speaking just for myself, of course, but I have been seeing others in my situation posting to this list in apparent agreement.<br>
<br>So for me, it's not so much the monetary costs. I'd love to pay. Really, I would. I'd just rather not hand over the house's deed in order to pay the electric bill.<br><br>$0.02,<br>Eric<br></div></div>
