I actually agree… I’d much prefer that they solve the double-billing problem without forcing different agreements into different orgs rather than consolidate under LRSA.

However, my point is that I’m open to any solution that allows me to preserve the fee increase protections for my IPv4 resources, yet get rid of the double-billing.

The double billing (had it been present at the time) would have prevented me from signing the LRSA for my IPv4 resources. IIRC, it was a year or two later when ARIN changed the fee structure to force the double billing issue. Unfortunately, the LRSA lacks a material adverse change clause allowing me to terminate without losing my resources, so for years now, I’ve been paying nearly triple what I signed up for not because of fee increases, but because of a change in the fee structure which altered the nature of ARIN billing.

I’m not trying to have my cake and eat it too… I’m trying to get restored to billing on terms similar to every other ARIN resource holder, with the exception that I’d like to preserve the fee increase protections in my LRSA for determining the price paid each year for my IPv4 resources.
