Suggestion: *

I suggest that ARIN make a temporary fee reduction for initial IPv6 
assignments (to end-users). Some possibilities are a $1,250 reduction 
for one or two years or make the initial IPv6 assignments free for a 
year and then half price for a year.

That would do two things: First, it lowers a potential barrier to IPv6 
deployment in the enterprise, pure cost of assignment. Second, it puts a 
touch of urgency on initial IPv6 requests: "Hey boss, we have to at 
least get our assignment this year if we don't want to be forced to pay 
laterâEUR¦" Especially if coordinated with officer attestation of IPv4 
exhaustion

*Response:*

This is in response to your suggestion noted below and assigned number 
2011.34 upon receipt of your confirmation.

The ARIN Board of Trustees recently adopted a new fee schedule, 
effective 1 July 2013.

The adopted fee schedule is the result of many considerations, including 
input from multiple fee schedule consultations and suggestions such as 
this one.

As a result of the new fee schedule being announced, this suggestion is 
now closed.
