RE: [Wg-apnic-fees] APNIC membership fee structure proposal



Dear Paul and APNIC members,

Thank you for information.
I understand APNIC has a yearly budget.
However, I don't know how an revenue increase of 10-15% will be used. 
I cannot explain New fee structure (include unknown New Activity) to our company, 
#Do you explain to our president, Masayoshi Son? :-P


BTW,
If I only don't know it, please tell me.
Do other RIR have such a discussion?
I believe other RIR have attended WSIS, too.
What is different from other RIR?


I collected RIR's annual membership fee.
(I cannot find RIPE/NCC tier/Size table)
Current APNIC fee is similar other RIR until /10.
But proposal fee structure is greatly quite different from those.

If this proposal is approved, the IP fee rises terribly in the AP region.
What is the reason why the charge jumps up in the so much?
What is the reason why only APNIC and other RIR are different?
