Dear Resource Members and the Community,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for the varied depth of the various feedbacks.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Sunday Folayan.<br>
Chair, AFRINIC Board<br>

<pre>Dear <span style="color:windowtext">Chair</span>,</pre>
<span class="">
<pre> </pre>
<pre>1. The Board has always been responsible for setting the fees. “Review” includes the right to change the fees.</pre>
<pre><span style="color:windowtext"> </span></pre>
</span>
<pre><span style="color:windowtext">Agree on this one.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"></span></pre>
<span class="">
<pre><span style="color:windowtext"> </span></pre>
<pre>2. The problem being addressed is that every allocation or assignment event requires effort from staff, and it is not fair for that effort to sometimes be undertaken free of charge.</pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"> </span></pre>
</span>
<pre><span style="color:windowtext">The staff has always been and is presently remunerated for that effort, so how come that remunerated effort is sometimes undertaken free of charge ? Underpaid staff ?</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"></span></pre>
<span class="">
<pre><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"> </span></pre>
<pre>3. AFRINIC requires more revenue, not less.</pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"> </span></pre>
</span>
<pre>Why does AFRINIC requires more revenue ? For what purpose ?<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"></span></pre>
<span class="">
<pre><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"> </span></pre>
<pre>4. If the proposed charging scheme had been in place during 2015, then income from allocation and assignment fees would have been about USD 550k. 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.</pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"> </span></pre>
</span>
<pre>Motive behind an expected US $200k/yr? <span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"></span></pre>
<span class="">
<pre><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"> </span></pre>
<pre>5. Since it is being introduced in the middle of 2016, the impact on the 2016 revenue is expected to be an additional USD 100k.</pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"> </span></pre>
</span>
<pre>Motive behind an expected additional US $100k for 2016?<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"></span></pre>
<pre> </pre>
<pre>Regards<span style="color:windowtext">,</span></pre>
