The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) is currently evaluating potential methods to adjust our Registration Services Plan Fee Schedule and is inviting feedback from the community. Our goal is to maintain a balanced alignment between operating costs and revenue, ensuring equitable cost recovery across our diverse community. In the past, ARIN has chosen not to automatically adjust the fee schedule annually, instead opting for larger, less frequent adjustments based on the changing landscape of ARIN’s operating costs.
