The ASN cost for us would have had practically no impact – we only have two and I suspect we’re getting rid of one at some point.
However the other costs that the charging schemes suggested would have cost us thousands – and that simply wasn’t acceptable

I wasn't talking about the previous AGM but about the one where the
pre-existing ASN charges got abandoned.
Talking about the *last* meeting, I think most of the members are just
not very good at math... introducing a charge for ASN *with a given total
budget* would have *lowered* the overall bill for most members, holding
only 1 or 2 ASNs (redistributing the overall budget differently).
But "nah, can't have extra costs!!!!".
Yes, a few would have had to pay way more, but I think that's legitimate -
if your business is "doling out ASNs to end customers", you'd better have
"oh, it might cost money at some point" in your contracts - and in that
case, the extra costs directly go to the end customers wanting the ASN.
