I urge the EC to revisit the decision on the fee waiver. The policy's intent was to promote the uptake of PI IPv6 by balancing incentivization with the recovery of costs for services provided to resource holders. A 12-month fee waiver, unfortunately fails horribly to meet this purpose and contradicts APNIC's fundamental goal of accelerating IPv6 adoption. To truly drive the shift towards IPv6, we must stop valuing it as if it were IPv4 - "a costly asset" - and instead, support its adoption through more favorable policies. The policy which the community overwhelmingly supported but EC didn't get the essence of it.
