Andrei,
Thank you for your question. There are no changes to the transactional fee
associated with obtaining an ASN from ARIN planned. The current transaction fee
of $550 will continue to be invoiced for every ASN issued to an organization.
Regards,
John Sweeting

Subject: Re: [ARIN-consult] Consultation on ASN Fee Harmonization
Hi there,
Just out of curiosity. Members that already pay for a RSP (X-Small, for
example), will need to pay anything else when requesting an ASN up to a total
number of 63 ASNs?
Thank you.
Andrei.

ARIN is consulting with the community
(https://www.arin.net/participate/community/acsp/consultations/2023/2023-3/)
about harmonizing annual registration services fees for Autonomous System
Numbers (ASNs) so that they will be included in the Registration Services Plan
(RSP) fee schedule beginning 1 January 2024<x-apple-data-detectors://1>. This
change will have the benefit of recovering costs more equitably for services to
ASN-only holders, with the added benefit of making ASN-only customers ARIN
Service Members, thus providing them with the opportunity to become General
Members and participate in ARIN governance if they so choose. This change will
bring all ARIN customers into a unified, equitable fee schedule.
In 2022, ARIN transitioned end user customers to the RSP fee schedule based on
total IPv4 and IPv6 resources held, to ensure costs were distributed in an
equitable manner by eliminating the fee differentiation between ISP and end
user organizations. Now ARIN is seeking community feedback on a plan to
complete the fee harmonization process by transitioning ASNs to the RSP Fee
Schedule.
Proposed Fee Harmonization (all fees in USD)
- Organizations holding 1-3 ASNs will be categorized as 3X-Small, with an
annual fee of $250.
- Organizations holding 4-15 ASNs will be categorized as 2X-Small, with an
annual fee of $500.
- Organizations holding 16-63 ASNs will be categorized as X-Small, with an
annual fee of $1000.
- Organizations holding 64-255 ASNs will be categorized as Small, with an
annual fee of $2000.
- Organizations holding 256+ ASNs will be categorized as Medium, with an annual
fee of $4000.
Based on financial modeling using May 2023 revenue and customer data, there
will be a negligible effect on our existing RSP customers due to the proposed
fee change, with only 15 existing organizations holding sufficient ASNs where
they will transition to a higher fee tier. Among them, two are expected to
transition from the 3X/2X-Small service category to the X-Small bracket, while
13 will move from the 3X-Small to the 2X-Small service category. This shift is
attributed to changes in fee size classifications based on the balance of ASNs
compared to the IPv4 and IPv6 number resources they currently possess.
Comparatively, for customers who solely hold ASNs, approximately 313 will
experience a decrease in their total fees. With the proposed change, they will
no longer be charged annual fees for each individual ASN, resulting in savings
of between $50 USD to $1,750 USD for these customers. Conversely, the estimated
6,800 single ASN holders will experience an increase in their fees of $100 USD
when they are brought under the RSP fee schedule, now falling under the
3X-Small fee service category. While this is a substantial increase on a
percentage basis, it more accurately reflects the basic costs of serving an
organization with registry services and provides those customers with the
opportunity to obtain additional ASN?s, IPv4, and/or IPv6 resources with no
change in their fee category.
This consultation will remain open for 30 days, after which a summary will be
provided to the Board of Trustees for their consideration.
