Hey all,
Background:
This backdoor is not to gain more address space to sell, but to
avoid membership fees, which if used widely, would cripple APNIC.
Scenario:
I am a member (MEMBER-A) with a /18 (Medium) my anniversary is in
January.
I setup another company and register them as an APNIC member – AU
$792. I do this on July 1 to keep them separate (MEMBER-B)
In October... MEMBER-A transfers his /18 to MEMBER-B.
MEMBER-A gets letter from APNIC for membership renewal for associate
membership – AU$792
MEMBER-A pays bill.
MEMBER-B transfers /18 back to MEMBER-A
MEMBER-B gets its invoice in May, and it is again an associate member.
Members have avoided paying AU$6338 in member fees... and obviously
this works at any level, and if you want to get more complicated,
can easily be hidden through multiple members which are owned by the
same company, moving to a new member each year. Paying 5 * AU$792
is better than paying AU$25,352.
Simply, prop-050 cannot be allowed to come into being as it is. To
do so would cause untold damage to APNIC. With this backdoor, and
the others, the abuse of this proposal would be far beyond even what
we have come up with here so far.
I hope Phil’s revised proposal puts the blocks on all the abuse.
