My end-user ORG has been opting for the Registration Services Plan for just about as long as it has been an option. It has always mirrored the ISP fee schedule and as such, IPv4+IPv6+ASN(s) have been all under a single fee, based on the larger of the IPv4 or IPv6 size category. That doesn't necessarily mean it is less expensive for every ORG, but there are many for whom it would be.<br>

Huh? What are you talking about?<br>

<br>
Falling for what? Have you read the fee schedule? It is right there in black and white. There is no nuance or shady complicated language. It just is.<br>

Why? If not them, then who?<br>

Again, what are you talking about? Risk of what? Floodgates?!? <br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
No you won't. As previously shown, your fees are going to go down.<br>

Why won't you reply IPv6? Challenge them for what?<br>

<br>
A vote of no-confidence for whom? The global internet? ICANN? You are not making any sense at all. I can assume you are talking specifically about Mr, Curran, but it is not like he unilaterally decides anything about fees or policies, so it still doesn't make sense.<br>
<br>
In regard to IPv6, I would not at all called it failed at all. The reason it is not as ubiquitous is because of ignorance and attitudes of companies and individuals like you.<br>
<br>
<br>
Maybe it is time to put a policy in place that requires all ORGs to have a basic training course in how number resources work. If you lack the basic understanding of the policies involved, then you shouldn't qualify for the resources.<br>
