We have had a handful of organizations switch from end-user to ISP for the purposes of being able to put in reassignment records (e.g. to improve the usefulness of geolocation), but it is almost certain that others having avoided such a change due to the cost implications. What's the process to make such a change? We’ve had so few requests of that type that there is no process; we really need to hear from the community about whether there needs to be two different service levels (end-users, who cannot sub delegate & ISPs, who can) or whether we can provide the same registry services to all organizations. Long-term, there will be a substantial fee differential between end-users and ISPs due to the very material difference in assignment sizes under IPv6 policies, so we’ll end up at the same place in the end, but the question remains how to handle services and fees in the meantime. We’ll have some time to explore this topic later today during the Fee Schedule discussion. Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
