Perhaps this is the case Nii, however, considering the silence from the board and silence with regards to AfriNIC's official position on these issues, and lack of comment, we cannot assume this.<div><br></div><div>If the board has heard the message loud and clear, they need to give a firm indication of that to this list and give us an indication of the way forward.</div>

<blockquote type="cite"><div>Hi Guys,<div><br></div><div>Let me just state, that I do not think there would be any problem to potentially raising the fees for an end user on an annual basis. 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.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>That is one of the reasons why I have asked AfriNIC for the statistics in a previous email, so that we can do a proper analysis of where the revenue that is required is being generated from, and then perhaps can discuss how this could be moved around to a way that the community is happy with.</div>

Perhaps you just focused on the setup costs. My statement (Annual
fee) stands.<br></div></blockquote><div> </div><div>Yes you are right i did looked at something different as i assumed there was really no issue with the current pricing for the end-user. So i was looking at the pricing that Institutions will be paying if they were now categorized as an LIR.<br>

From the structure you reference, /24 PI should pay $100 annually.
/16 is also expected to pay $100. It is >/16 to /14 that
progresses to $200.</div></blockquote><div><br>I think $100/$200 annual payment is not the biggest and unbearable part of the end-user's current pricing :-)<br clear="all"></div></div><br>Regards<br>-- <br>------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
