Thanks Andrew, and good catch - both Scott and I missed that clause, obviously. It appears that this is in place in order to meet the stated goal of this proposal being revenue-neutral for ARIN? If so, it would be great to clarify so that community members can make a more informed evaluation as to whether or not to support the clause. If there are other justifications for the clause’s presence, I’d be interested to hear them.
