Document update:

"APNIC Fee Schedule: Membership Tiers, Fees, and Descriptions"
_______________________________________________________________

APNIC seeks final comments on the following draft document:


---------------------------------------------------------------
* APNIC Fee Schedule: Membership Tiers, Fees, and Descriptions
---------------------------------------------------------------

This document describes the fees and membership tiers that apply to APNIC
membership:

    http://www.apnic.net/docs/drafts/draft-member-fee-schedule-1.html

This draft represents the following amendments to the current document
APNIC-081:

  * It adds a new section 3.5 "Membership reactivation fee" which
    states as follows:

       "An organisation whose APNIC membership has been terminated for
        non-payment of membership fees may be returned to good standing
        by payment of a "membership reactivation fee" of US$ 1,000, in
        addition to any outstanding unpaid fees. This option is available
        for a limited period of three months after membership termination,
        after which time recovered resources are subject to reallocation.

        An organisation which does not opt for reactivation of their
        membership by this means, but wishes to continue using APNIC
        resources, will need to open a new membership and reapply for all
        resources required. In this case network renumbering will be
        necessary.

    - The membership reactivation fee was formally approved by the APNIC
      Executive Council on 14 May 2004.

    properly reflect the consensus decision reached in the Policy
    Review Process;
  - suggest improvements of any aspect of the document;

    more consideration of substantial revisions.
