Board sets fees; we discuss policy. The note was an attempt to set fees?

For example, if you went from $100/$200 a year to even $1000 a year, its still in the reasonable range.  I would argue that the difference between LIR and End User though is currently excessive.  If we raised the end user fees and dropped the LIR fees to perhaps make a more inclusive fee structure, maybe thats the answer.
