Opposed.
If the Board wishes to impose identical fee structures on LIRs and end-users. it
can do so now. It just needs to adopt identical fee schedules for each. (If
they do so, then obviously, there will be push-back about any perceived unfairness.)
This proposal would remove that power and responsibility from the Board, given
them unwarranted shelter. They would be able to say "We have no choice, the
Policy requires that the fees be the same." But if they aren't responsible, who is?

Draft Policy ARIN-2021-5: Update ISP and End User References For 2022 Fee
Schedule
Problem Statement:
Starting in Jan 1 2022, ISPs and end users will no longer have a distinction in
terms of fees and both will be under RSA membership terms. There is existing
policy language in the NRPM which references ISPs and end users separately.
Policy statement:
This policy aims to synchronize the NRPM in regards to the new 2022 fee schedule
by consolidating instances where ISPs and End users have clear distinctions.
Old text
4.2.1.2. Annual Renewal
An annual fee for registered space is due by the anniversary date of the ISP’s
first allocation from ARIN. ISPs should take care to ensure that their annual
renewal payment is made by their anniversary due date in accordance with the
Registration Services Agreement…
3rd paragraph down 4.4
…ISPs and other organizations receiving these micro-allocations will be charged
under the ISP fee schedule, while end-users will be charged under the fee
schedule for end-users. ….
6.10.1. Micro-allocations for Critical Infrastructure
….ISPs and other organizations receiving these micro-allocations will be charged
under the ISP fee schedule, while end-users will be charged under the fee
schedule for end-users…
New policy text:
4.2.1.2. Annual Renewal
An annual fee for registered space is due by the anniversary date of an
organization’s first allocation from ARIN. Organizations should take care to
ensure that their annual renewal payment is made by their anniversary due date
in accordance with the Registration Services Agreement…
3rd paragraph down 4.4
…Organizations receiving these micro-allocations will be charged under the fee
schedule. ….
6.10.1. Micro-allocations for Critical Infrastructure
….Organizations receiving these micro-allocations will be charged under the
organizations fee schedule…
Comments: The fee schedule is not in effect until Jan 1, 2022. The new Fee
Schedule includes the following changes, “Transitioning End Users from annual
per-resource maintenance fees to the RSP (Registration Services Plan) Fee Schedule”
Timetable for implementation: Any time after Jan 1,2022
Anything else: The AC/community may want to consider the word “resource holder”
rather than organization in the new text.
