	Your final paragraph hits directly on my situation ,  That is as soon as 
I can get my small network connected again via hardline connections again .
        I am not a customer of ARIN except for one asn .
        I hold maintainership a couple of pre-arin /24's .

	And until a (imo) reasonable contract with pre-arin holders can be 
created AND a reasonable fund dispersement calculation with HARD Set $ values 
assigned ,  I will not be a Arin customer except for my one little ASN .  Which 
when I was assigned that resource was just $100/yr ,  Imo a reasonable cost . 
that cost has now only gone up 50% ,  Again somewhat reasonable cost ,  BUT that 
cost going UP is of concern to my meager financial status .

	I am greatly exasperated that I am not hearing about Public versions of 
RPKi repositories in the veign of ALTDB .
        In other words a Publicly held and Volunteer based entity .

	Blast I wish I had the financial witheral to back such an enterprise . 
If I did it would remain totally vounteer & a not for profit & I'd really like 
it to be Voluntarilly funded by the Community .

	I ask the Community why someone or some entity IS not coming forward and 
doing so ?

                Sorry about the rambling .

        Twyl ,  JimL
