Hi John,<br>
<br>
In my reading of that announcement that there is an additional fee. I do
not have any IPv4 or IPv6 resources so I would need to acquire them and
pay for them to be allowed to vote on things that directly affect me. I
am not sure how this is different than before. I am still
disenfranchised as a ASN only customer.<br>
<br>
"Presently be an ARIN Service Member in good standing with IPv4 and/or
IPv6 number resources receiving services under a valid ARIN registration
services agreement."<br>
