nding international meetings,etc

7Fee Structure -Before Change-

• Initial Membership fee– Only pay once at the time of becoming a member

Problems with this system

• A large proportion of fee structure relies on a variable which may change drastically– per request fee

• Revenue and expenditure are not proportional– organizations engaged in domain management must

also cover the cost for other activities

• Some organizations become a member just for domain name/IP management operations, and not interested in attending Members’ meeting

rights

two contracts for each• Does not have to be a JPNIC member to be

engaged in domain/IP management


19Changes for organizations engaged in IP Management

• Criteria– Must exchange a contract instead of becoming a

member

• Fee– Must pay maintenance fee based on allocated address

instead annual fee based on the registered domains

• Voting– Must separately apply for JPNIC membership for

voting rights

Fee structure for IP Agent

An IP Agent must pay 3 types of fees.

• 1. Contract fee– 250,000 yen

• 2. Per Assignment request fee– 4,500 yen

• 3. Annual Maintenance fee– varies according to allocated address size


22

1. Contract fee

• An IP member only pays this once, at the time of exchanging a contract with JPNIC.

• Only those who exchange an IP contract is able to undertake an operation on IP address management(allocation, assignment, DBupdate,etc).


23

2.Per Assignment request fee

• 4,500 yen is charged for every IP address assignment request submitted to JPNIC.

• Not per address

• Database registration cost

• Hoping to abolish this fee in the future– Incorporate all costs into maintenance fee


243. Annual Maintenance fee

• Charged once every year.

• This concept is the same as APNIC membership fee.

• The annual fee varies depending on the size of total allocated blocks.

• It is based on the allocation size at 0:00 1st Apr every year.
