I agree fees are more a RSA and member related thing than policy
related, however for most it may be mentioned in either RSA, web
documentation, etc, it must still be said be *well clear in the
policies* that lack of payment is a potential reason for space
revocation, which is what is been suggested to be removed from the
current text.
I don't see a potential problem in keeping that part of the text where
it is. What problem is this causing or may cause in the future ?
Unless this text removal can be better justified I can not still support
this proposal.

Draft Policy ARIN-2020-8: Clarify and Update 4.2.1.2 Annual Renewal Fee
Problem Statement:
The January 2020 Policy Experience Report highlighted that the
existing language in Section 4.2.1.2 “Annual Renewal” references fees.
Fees are not considered a member qualification criteria. Since fees
aren’t referenced elsewhere in community policy, the wording was
reviewed by the PEG.
Policy Statement:
Given that the Registration Services Agreement (RSA) already contains
language regarding fees, the PEG recommends removing the last two
sentences referencing from Section 4.2.1.2. The intent of the current
wording is accomplished by the existing RSA.
Current Policy (12 Aug 2020)
4.2.1.2. Annual Renewal
An annual fee for registered space is due by the anniversary date of
the ISP’s first allocation from ARIN. ISPs should take care to ensure
that their annual renewal payment is made by their anniversary due
date in accordance with the Registration Services Agreement. If not
paid by the anniversary date, the address space may be revoked. Please
review the Annual Renewal/Maintenance Fees Page for more details.
Proposed Policy
4.2.1.2. Annual Renewal
An annual fee for registered space is due by the anniversary date of
the ISP’s first allocation from ARIN. ISPs should take care to ensure
that their annual renewal payment is made by their anniversary due
date in accordance with the Registration Services Agreement.
Timetable for Implementation: Immediate
Comments:
The AC’s understanding is that community policy should not include
language referring to fees, as such language is already present in the
Registration Services Agreement (RSA). Registration Services has
informed us that “Section 4.2.1.2. contains language detailing fee due
dates, encouraging on-time payments, and mentions potential
revocations. It also contains a reference to web documentation that
has evolved significantly since this policy was implemented, and may
continue to do so. Essentially the entire section is made of language
that is already in the Registration Services Agreement, and is
generally fee-focused, making it outside normal scope for Internet
number resource policy.”
