Fees are always complex because we need to recover costs in a fair and equitable manner. The current fee structure has tried to ensure there is simplicity and predictability while accomplishing this and we’ve had a lot of feedback that is important. Adjusting the schedule to account for this starts to complicate things both for users of our services and ARIN. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">With that in mind we have taken suggestions like this seriously in the past and give them serious deliberation.
