I personally would want to see YRC implemented, 1EUR/year/resource, 4294967296 EUR annual revenue will make it possible to finance sufficient long AS number for Nick's use cases.
Unfortunately, APWG has no formal say in this, as everything related to money is for the members to decide, and it seems sufficient LIRs wanted "no extra costs for AS numbers!" to lobby for the removal from the charging scheme... (we had "50 EUR per AS/year" in it)
One would need to personally propose this to the board so they can include it in the new charging scheme drafts, *and* get enough members to actually vote for it...
As author I wholeheartedly agree with the two main concerns Nick raises, we described this concern in the Rationale section B. Going forward I see two possible paths, and would appreciate feedback on either. 1) We add a clause to the policy that the policy only takes effect if either in 2014 or 2015, a yearly recurring cost is associated with AS Number assigments. Until then RIPE-525 remains in effect as is. 2) We limited the number of AS Number assignments per LIR to one thousand. This currently values an AS Number assignment at roughly 2 euros, which in my opinion would be a fine number. This approach would have both an abuse-dampening and a garbage collection effect. Thoughts? Kind regards, Job
