Hi Dan,

Speaking for myself, I'd be happy to pay the normal block size fee
just to get DNSSEC, RPKI and a validated IRR. I pay $80/month just for
my residential Internet service and another $80 or so for my off-site
virtual machines. A couple hundred bucks a _year_ for the niceties
which come with ARIN registration is no imposition at all.

My objection lies in having ARIN's RSA adhere to my address block
overall. I may feel differently about ARIN next year than I do this
year but once I've signed that RSA, well, that's just too bad. I now
have obligations to ARIN, some of them on shifting sand, and if I
don't fulfill them the addresses are gone.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
