How can we agree at the regional level on
"non profit and community org"

Are they service providers ? If yes can't they fit in one of the

There are some discounts to promote ipv6
b.For New LIRs:
i.Allow 50% discount on the initial setup fee and 100% discount on the
first year's membership fee for a LIR with IPv6 only allocation.
ii.Allow respectively 75%, 50%, 25% discount on the membership fee for
the three the subsequent years.

I will assume that people of the community are end users.

If the previous discount model can't work.
How can we have something workable at the regional level and avoid
