I hope that you agree that APNIC is leasing/selling assets
provided by the U.S. Government, namely IPv4 addresses.
That makes APNIC special in some people's minds, especially
U.S. taxpayers. For APNIC to be financially coupled to APRICOT
opens the door for money to flow from the IP address business
to other businesses. This does not seem to be a good thing.
If that is allowed to happen, then assets from the U.S. Government
are used to control the commerce in the rest of the region. In
my opinion, there should be a money barrier as shown below.
