[Community-Discuss] Resolution 201604.274 about Set-Up fees

[Sunday Folayan]

Dear Resource Members and the Community,

The Board has taken note of the comments on the process around the 
proposed Fees and will deliberate on them at the meeting coming up next 
week. I will thereafter share some ideas with the community.

Thank you very much for the varied depth of the various feedbacks.

Sincerely,

Sunday Folayan.
Chair, AFRINIC Board

Actual income from allocation and assignment fees in 2015 was about USD 350k. Therefore, the clarification that allocation or assignment fees are once per allocation or assignment, not once per member, is expected to raise about USD 200k per year.
