John,
Thanks for the clarification. I'm happy to abide by the original community =
decision, but I think it's important that the table be clarified, especiall=
y given that the ARIN specialist I worked with agreed that it needs clarifi=
cation.
It's like going to a Starbucks as a homeless person with just pocket change=
, and ordering the cheapest coffee on the menu, and being told "Oh, that's =
for off-planet visitors only. It says so on our website under "Terms and Co=
nditions." Can I interest you in this giga-latte at only four times the pri=
ce?"
A simple asterisk, followed by "Not available to residents of Earth", would=
prevent the confusion, and resulting social awkwardness. <OutlookEmoji-?.p=
ng>
We made note of the IPv6 policy minimum of /36 in the linked FAQ that accom=
panies
the Fee Table, but I'll admit it could be clearer (particularly for those o=
btaining number
resources for the first time.)
We'll do an update after the October meeting reflecting the final outcome w=
ith respect
to the fee table, and will address at that time.
Thanks!
