Hi,
Both the LIR option and the DAU option gives you certification for your legacy resources.
In addition, the LIR option gives you the possibility to request IPv4, IPv6, and some other stuff like extra Atlas features. Finally, the LIR option is also €2000 cheaper than the DAU one, due to the waived sign-up fee.
Why would you or anyone else then choose the DAU option over the LIR option?
That is exactly the point. The policy specifies that there should be an option for 'deal with the NCC directly without becoming a full member'. Then the NCC creates an option that is *more* expensive than becoming a full member, and then kills it because nobody wants is. If you *make* people not want it by attaching ridiculous prices to it then that is the obvious outcome. But it goed 200% against the spirit of the policy, and I am VERY angry because of that. Sander
