I probably missed something, but the registration services plan did not make 
sense to me earlier. When I added it up, it was cheaper to pay separately.
This is another of your bait-and-switch schemes.

Nice try, but I'm not falling for it. As I said earlier, I don't think that 
ARIN should be in the business of incentives to deploy IPv6.
As I said earlier too, this will go to court at some point. I am not going to 
tie my company and open the floodgates to IPv6 obligations for $100 a year.
It is not worth the risk. I will eat the $100 increase and stay IPv4-only. I 
will not deploy IPv6 and challenge ARIN all the way to the supreme court if I 
have to.

A part of ARIN stakeholders feels that we should not be paying you more than 
half a million dollars a year to keep promoting a protocol that has failed for 
20 years. Sooner or later, there will be a vote of no-confidence.

Michel.
