But say they sign an LRSA: Those $0 fees would go up to 150, this year, 175 next year, 200 the following...250 in year five... to be able to simply add DNSSEC, RPKI, and Validated IRR.
Hi Dan, Speaking for myself, I'd be happy to pay the normal block size fee just to get DNSSEC, RPKI and a validated IRR. I pay $80/month just for my residential Internet service and another $80 or so for my off-site virtual machines. A couple hundred bucks a _year_ for the niceties which come with ARIN registration is no imposition at all. My objection lies in having ARIN's RSA adhere to my address block overall. I may feel differently about ARIN next year than I do this year but once I've signed that RSA, well, that's just too bad. I now have obligations to ARIN, some of them on shifting sand, and if I don't fulfill them the addresses are gone. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
