5 Major comments on APNIC Membership Fee Structure Proposal Should discount for developing countries be considered? If yes, to what extent? The new fee should be able to absorb fluctuations in exchange rates and inflations NIR s operational cost should also be taken into considerations in designing the fee model NIR pool and NIR member s pool should not be counted as different types of address space

6 Outcome of the Fee Discussions No conclusion to support a particular model –Continue discussions on the fee wg mailing list Action Item –APNIC secretariat will call for a volunteer at AMM to chair the Fee WG –Need to have a chair to drive the discussions

7 An Idea for Future Considerations Can perhaps consider to hold a Separate fee session as in APNIC 21 where all members can participate in future meetings?
