John,

Thanks for the clarification. I'm happy to abide by the original community decision, but I think it's important that the table be clarified, especially given that the ARIN specialist I worked with agreed that it needs clarification.

It's like going to a Starbucks as a homeless person with just pocket change, and ordering the cheapest coffee on the menu, and being told "Oh, that's for off-planet visitors only. It says so on our website under "Terms and Conditions." Can I interest you in this giga-latte at only four times the price?"

A simple asterisk, followed by "Not available to residents of Earth", would prevent the confusion, and resulting social awkwardness. <OutlookEmoji-?.png>

We made note of the IPv6 policy minimum of /36 in the linked FAQ that accompanies
the Fee Table, but I'll admit it could be clearer (particularly for those obtaining number
resources for the first time.)

We'll do an update after the October meeting reflecting the final outcome with respect
to the fee table, and will address at that time.

Thanks!
/John
