Document update
________________________________________________________________

APNIC seeks final editorial comments on the following draft document:


     * APNIC Fee Schedule: Membership Tiers, Fees, and Descriptions


The document has been updated to reflect the decision made by the APNIC 
EC (Executive Council) on 15 April to implement the following fee 
changes:

     - A 90% discount will be applied to the per address fees for
       allocations of IPv6 address space to NIR members with existing
       IPv4 infrastructure. This is in recognition that such networks
       have already received address space from APNIC, for which
       per-address fees have previously been paid.

    -  Per address fees for allocations of IPv6 address space to
       confederation members will be waived, on the understanding and
       condition that all such members will maintain a single pool of
       IPv6 address space.

The EC believes these policy changes are a progressive step which
equalise allocation conditions among APNIC members, and hopes this
will facilitate IPv6 deployment.

The draft document is available at:

    http://www.apnic.net/docs/drafts/draft-member-fee-schedule-v004.html

Minutes of the EC meeting documenting this decision are at:
