RE: [Wg-apnic-fees] APNIC membership fee structure proposal
Dear Akai,
However, I don't know how an revenue increase of 10-15% will be used.
I cannot explain New fee structure (include unknown New Activity) to our
company,
The point I have made is that the proposed revenue increase is important
for the maintenance of *existing* APNIC activities, which are currently
operating on a balanced budget. Future service increases such as resource
certification, along with unforseen events, could certainly undermine the
current stability of APNIC services under these circumstances.
# Do you explain to our president, Masayoshi Son? :-P
I would be happy to discuss with Son san the market value of the address
space that your company has received in recent years, however I am sure
that he is already well aware of that. :-)
I collected RIR's annual membership fee.
(I cannot find RIPE/NCC tier/Size table)
Current APNIC fee is similar other RIR until /10.
But proposal fee structure is greatly quite different from those.
If this proposal is approved, the IP fee rises terribly in the AP region.
What is the reason why the charge jumps up in the so much?
What is the reason why only APNIC and other RIR are different?
Please refer to page 5 of the proposal document, which is available on the
APNIC website at:
http://www.apnic.net/meetings/22/docs/amm-disc-wilson-fees-proposal.pdf
According to this calculation the total increase for regular APNIC members
is 2% overall. This does not seem to represent a large increase. Of
course, for larger APNIC members the fees would increase by around %130,
however this is justified by the principle of fairness which I think you
have supported.
Even under the proposed structure, the effective annual cost per IP address
is still much lower for large members, as follows:
Prefix Addresses Tier Annual Annual/address
6 67108864 I $92,160 $0.0014
7 33554432 I $92,160 $0.0027
8 16777216 I $92,160 $0.0055
10 4194304 H $46,080 $0.0110
12 1048576 G $23,040 $0.0220
14 262144 F $11,520 $0.0439
16 65536 E $5,760 $0.0879
18 16384 D $2,880 $0.1758
20 4096 C $1,440 $0.3516
21 2048 C $1,440 $0.7031
22 1024 B $720 $0.7031
24 256 A $360 $1.4063
According to this table, a member holding a /7 pays an effective annual fee
of USD $0.0027 per address while a member holding a /20 pays USD $0.35
########## In case of /7 of IPv4##########
annual membership fee
ARIN $18,000
Afrinic $20,000
LACNIC $33,000
APNIC $40,000 (average +12,250)
# Ave $27,750
proposaled fee structure $92,160(Current+52,160)
It is true that your company would pay much more under this fee structure.
Indeed the RIPE NCC fee for your company would be $5,750.
Best regards,
