From info at arin.net Wed Jul 20 15:55:45 2016 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2016 15:55:45 -0400 Subject: [ARIN-Suggestions] Responses to ACSP 2016.10 and 2016.12 Message-ID: <578FD741.1040605@arin.net> ARIN has provided the following responses to the submitters of ACSP 2016.10 and 2016.12: 2016.10: Allow Billing Consolidation for Organizations with both LRSA & RSA Resouces Suggestion Details: Description: Having multiple RSAs should not prevent consolidation of resources for billing purposes. Value to Community: Some organizations have both LRSA and RSA resources. Under the current fee structures adopted by the board, the fact that ARIN treats these as separate organizations and cannot consolidate them for billing purposes may in some cases create real disadvantages forcing the organizations in question to choose between paying excessive fees beyond what is necessary for the covered resources, giving up their LRSA rights and migrating those resources to an RSA, or disenfranchisement because they cannot put their resources under a single subscription agreement. This amounts to a poll tax on LRSA signatories and I believe it is unfair to that segment of the community. Response: Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2016.10 upon confirmed receipt. As we understand it, this suggestion recommends that ARIN allow consolidation, for billing purposes, of resources when held under both the Registration Services Agreement (RSA) and Legacy Registration Services Agreement (LRSA) by the same organization. Given that fee-related matters are under the authority of the ARIN Board of Trustees, this suggestion will be provided to the Trustees for their consideration. This suggestion will remain open pending next steps. Thank you for your participation in the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process. 2016.12: Interactive Fee Calculator Description: The online fee estimator within the ARIN portal should be interactive. This means we should be able to add OR AND remove resources (IPv4, IPv6, ASN) and the online estimator should provide us an estimate of what the new fees would be. Think of this as a "What If I {add/removed} the following resource {s} " The resources we add OR AND remove to the estimator will in *no* way trigger any actions to the rest of the system (return resources, submit justification request, etc.) The whole purpose is for informational use and fee estimator should make that clear to the end user when adding OR AND removing resources. Response: Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2016.12 upon confirmed receipt, recommending that ARIN provide an interactive fee calculator enabling resource holders to determine fee impacts based on what-if resources change scenarios. Your suggestion appears to have value to the community and therefore we will add it to Engineering Projects Awaiting Prioritization,https://www.arin.net/features/planned.html#tbd We do not have a schedule for implementation at this time, and we suggest you check for any updates in the software development update report that is given at each of the ARIN meeting. At that time staff will report on software engineering projects have been completed as well as what we anticipate completing in the next six months or so. Until your suggestion is implemented, it will remain open. Thank you for your participation in the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process.
