@tubsta@social.bsdlab.au @hkrn@mstdn.social @stucchimax@social.secret-wg.org @phessler@bsd.network Be careful what you ask for. The IEEE had the foresight to charge $1000 US for OUIs to dissuade every grad student from getting their own, but cheap enough to be essentially inconsequential to real card vendors. There is a real administrative burden on RIRs, arguably much more so than there is for OUIs. Now, probably the bigger concern isn't the grad students, but the potential harm in Internet security and stability. What are reasonable RIR administrative fees to limit pollution, abuse, and bad actors while making the costs a minor part of the budget for serious networks?
