1.    Annual Membership Fees
----------------------------

Annual Fees paid by APNIC Members are calculated based on the address 
resources held by the member at the time of the anniversary of APNIC 
membership. All fees are assessed, and are payable, using Australian 
Dollars (AUD). 

The IPv4 and IPv6 components of the annual fee are calculated 
separately, according to the total address holdings of the member. The 
annual membership fee is then charged as the greater of these two 
components. A member with no IPv4 or IPv6 address space holdings is 
assessed as an Associate Member. 

NIR (National Internet Registry) Members and Confederation Members are 
assessed on their total address holdings, with an additional premium, as 
described in section 1.4 of this schedule. 

Members from Least Developed Countries will pay a discounted fee, as 
described in section 1.5 of this schedule. 

Failure to pay the annual membership fee will result in the registration 
record being removed from the APNIC Whois Database. The address space 
will then be returned to the APNIC free address pool to be reallocated. 
   

1.1    Associate (no address space holdings)

       A member who holds no IPv4 addresses and no IPv6 addresses will 
       be invoiced the Associate Membership Fee of AUD 675. 

       An Associate Member may hold allocated AS numbers, or 
       Experimental IPv4 or Experimental IPv6 addresses. 


1.2    IPv4 Component

       The Member's total IPv4 address holdings, including historical 
       and APNIC-allocated address space, will be used to assess the 
       IPv4 component of the annual membership fee as follows:

       Fee(v4) = 1180 x 1.3 (log2(Addresses)-8)

       Notes:
    
       - The minimum annual fee is AUD 1,180
       - In this formula, address holdings are expressed as the total  
         count of individual IPv4 addresses (/32) so that, for example, 
         a holding of a /16 and a /18 would constitute 81,920 IPv4 
         addresses
       - Experimental allocations of IPv4 addresses are not included in 
         this assessment of total address holdings


1.3    IPv6 Component

       The Member's total IPv6 address holdings, including historical 
       and APNIC-allocated address space, will be used to assess the 
       IPv6 component of the annual membership fee as follows:

       Fee(v6) = 1180(log2(Addresses)-22)
    
       Notes:
    
       - The minimum annual fee is AUD 1,180
       - In this formula, address holdings are expressed as the total of 
         IPv6 /56 subnets, so that, for example, a holding of a /32 and 
         a /31 would constitute 50,331,648 /56 subnets
       - Experimental allocations of IPv6 addresses are not included in 
         this assessment of total address holdings
      
      
1.4    NIR and Confederation Members

       NIR and Confederation annual membership fees will be assessed in 
       the manner described above, with an additional premium of 190 per 
       cent applied to the annual membership fee, such that the total 
       NIR and Confederation annual membership fee is 290 per cent of 
       the ordinary membership fee. 

1.5    Members from Least Developed Countries

        The fees payable by members from Least Developed Countries 
        (LDCs), as calculated in items 1.1 through 1.4, are discounted 
        by 50 per cent. 
        
        The list of LDCs used for the purposes of this fee discount is 
        defined and maintained by the United Nations Statistics Division 
        (currently available as 
        http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49regin.htm#least). The 
        discount will be applied in accordance with the LDC status of 
        the Member's economy on the date of membership renewal. 


2.     IPv4 Transfer Fee
------------------------

All regional and inter-RIR IPv4 address transfers are subject to a 
transfer fee. This fee does not apply to transfers that are a result of 
a merger, acquisition, takeover, or membership change to or from an NIR. 
The fee will also not apply to transfers under the historical resource 
transfer policy.

A 20% transfer fee is charged according to the size of the block that is 
being transferred. For example, if you transfer a /24, the fee would be 
20% of AUD 1,357 which is AUD 271. The formula to calculate this fee is 
the same one used to assess the IPv4 component of the annual 
non-membership fee.

This fee is charged when the transfer occurs and must be paid before the 
transfer is processed.


3.     IP Resource Application Fee
----------------------------------

A Member's first address allocation request is subject to an IP resource 
application fee of AUD 3,500.

Subsequent allocations are free of application fee charges.

The following services are exempt from the address application fee:

    - Critical infrastructure assignments
    - Experimental allocations
    - IXP assignments
    - AS numbers
    - Historical resource transfers

Non-Members of LDCs will receive a 50% discount on this fee, as per 
section 1.5.


4.    Membership Reactivation Fee
---------------------------------

An organization whose APNIC membership has been terminated for 
non-payment of membership fees may be returned to good standing by 
payment of a "membership reactivation fee" of AUD 2,700, in addition to 
payment of any outstanding unpaid fees. This option is available for a 
limited period of three months after membership termination, after which 
time all previously allocated and assigned resources are subject to 
reallocation.

Members of LDCs will receive a 50 per cent discount on this fee, as per 
section 1.5. 

An organization that does not opt for reactivation of their membership 
by this means, but wishes to continue using APNIC resources, will need 
to open a new membership and reapply for all resources required. In this 
case network renumbering will be necessary.
