Hi John,

In my reading of that announcement that there is an additional fee. I do 
not have any IPv4 or IPv6 resources so I would need to acquire them and 
pay for them to be allowed to vote on things that directly affect me.  I 
am not sure how this is different than before.  I am still 
disenfranchised as a ASN only customer.

"Presently be an ARIN Service Member in good standing with IPv4 and/or 
IPv6 number resources receiving services under a valid ARIN registration 
services agreement."
