</div>
<div class="">It’s an artifact of our formation that we are presently providing services to any customers absent any agreement </div>
<div class="">and while ARIN continues to do so (by providing basic services to legacy customers), the long-term direction is </div>
<div class="">to provide the same services to all customers under the same agreement and fees – anything else wouldn’t be </div>
<div class="">equitable. </div>

Thanks John! I’ve been working on this with our attorneys for almost a year. I did send over the revisions and it will be good to see what they say. But I’m not sure it will be enough to reduce the perceived risk. Has ARIN considered separating the fee structure
and service goals from the drive to get everyone under an RSA? <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

An interesting idea, but like others have said I think the ship may have sailed for RPKI. Really I have no problem with the ARIN fees. They are a drop in the bucket for most network budgets. In fact as a legacy holder I would gladly pay the same as an RIR-allocated
resource holder if it would allow the use of the more advanced services. It's the ownership question and RSA/LRSA language that throws the wrench in everything.<br class="">
<br class="">
As John said " I will note that ARIN’s approach is the result of aiming for a different target – that more specifically being the lowest possible fees administered on an equitable basis for _all resource holders_ in the region.". If that's the goal, give us
the option to pay the same without all the legal mess around signing the RSA/LRSA. I'm sure that's what has been holding some organizations back for the couple decades mentioned. It has been the major stumbling point for a few of the ones I've been part of
over the years.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
