RE: [Wg-apnic-fees] Fee proposal version 2.3

[<makai@bb.softbank.co.jp>]

Dear Paul-san,

Thank you for your hard work to develop the new version of the draft,
however I am a bit disappointed that you have not responded to my questions 
which were concerning about the transparency of the APNIC business plans and 
justifications for the increase.
In this version we will be charged more than four times as much as we are right 
now, but it is really difficult for us to convince our management to pay the new 
increased membership fee without any *valid* explanation.

We will be glad if you kindly give us your thoughts on that,
and please let me know if you've already given it to us and we miss that.

Best regards,

My Questions are below,

>However, I don't know how an revenue increase of 10-15% will be used.
Do you have any documents that can be judged for the budget to be distributed 
properly?

>I think all RIRs are doing almost same activity.
>so, there is no large difference between RIRs.
>Why does ONLY APNIC plan to increase fee?
Can you show the reason why only APNIC is expensive?
