More accurately, you retain more rights than the standard RSA and you
move from a situation where your exact rights are unknown and
undetermined with no contractual relationship between you and ARIN
to a situation where your rights are assured, enumerated, and a
contractual relationship exists between you and ARIN governing
the services you are receiving from ARIN.

This is correct. I would like to see initial registration fee waivers =
for
IPv6 end-user assignments. I've brought the subject up on arin-discuss.
There was substantial opposition to the idea. If you would like to see
that happen, I encourage you to voice your opinion there.

Well said, Bill.
