The AP WG has clearly voiced a need for an ASN reclaim mechanism
I agree that a small fee would solve this problem. On the other hand, I don't understand why ASNs should be more expensive than IPv4 or IPv6 allocations.
They wouldn't be? 50 EUR is on the table, which is the same amount as for an IPv4 or IPv6 assignment, and much less than a full LIR membership fee.
If we could agree on "Fees for sponsored ASNs" my answer would be yes, since there is more work involved (like ID check) compared to an assignment to a LIR.
If the total budget stays the same, introducing a per-ASN fee would lower(!) the cost for all LIRs that only have 1 ASN for themselves - so, effectively, "the LIR's own ASN" is free.
