Non-Members and Non-Member Fees
APNIC recognizes that some organizations wish to have access to
resources from APNIC without becoming full APNIC Members. These
organizations can apply for resources and access certain APNIC services
as APNIC Non-Member account holders.
APNIC Non-Member account holders must pay the associated Non-Member
service fee before APNIC can provide services to the Non-Member account
holder. The fees associated with services are detailed below.
1. Annual Address Fee
------------------------
Annual address fees paid by Non-Members of APNIC are based on the
address holdings of the Non-Member. Address holdings of a Non-Member are
those address resources registered as held by the Non-Member in
registration records maintained by APNIC at the time of the anniversary
of the Non-Member services agreement with APNIC.
These address holdings include all APNIC-allocated address space listed
in the APNIC address registry, including all historically allocated
address space.
All Non-Member fees are assessed, and are payable, using Australian
Dollars (AUD).
The IPv4 and IPv6 components of the Non-Member address fee are
calculated separately, according to the total address holdings of the
Non-Member. The annual address fee is then charged as the greater of
these two components.
Non-Members from Least Developed Countries will pay a discounted address
fee, as described in section 1.3 of this schedule.
1.1 IPv4 Component
If a Non-Member holds IPv4 addresses that have been allocated by
APNIC, then the Non-Member's total IPv4 address holdings,
including all historical and APNIC-allocated address space, will
be used to assess the IPv4 component of the annual address fee as
follows:
Fee(v4) = 1,200 x 1.308^(log2(Addresses)-8)
Notes:
- 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
- The minimum annual fee is AUD 1,200
- Experimental allocations of IPv4 addresses are not included in
this assessment of total address holdings
1.2 IPv6 Component
If a Non-Member holds IPv6 addresses that have been allocated by
APNIC, then the Non-Member's total IPv6 address holdings of
APNIC-allocated address IPv6 space, will be used to assess the
IPv6 address fee as follows:
Fee(v6) = 1,200 x 1.308^(log2(Addresses)-22)
Notes:
- In this formula, address holdings are expressed as the total of
IPv6 end site addresses (/56), so that, for example, a holding
of a /32 and a /31 would constitute 50,331,648 /56 site
addresses
- The minimum annual fee is AUD 1,200
- Experimental allocations of IPv6 addresses are not included in
this assessment of total address holdings
1.3 Non-Members from Least Developed Countries
The address fees payable by Non-Members from Least Developed
Countries (LDCs) are discounted by 50%.
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 Non-Member's economy on the date of non-membership renewal.
1.4 Autonomous System Number Fee
New Non-Members requesting only ASNs will pay the Basic Non-
Member Fee of AUD 575 and a sign-up fee of AUD 575.
The fees for existing Non-Members requesting additional ASNs will
be assessed on an annual basis as part of the total address
holdings of the Non-Member.
Non-Members of LDCs will receive a 50% discount on this fee.
3. Sign-Up Fee
------------------
New Non-Member accounts are subject to sign-up fee of AUD 575. This fee
is non-refundable.
New Non-Members receiving the following services are exempt from the
sign-up fee:
- Critical infrastructure assignments
- IXP assignments
- Registration updates for Historical addresses (Section 4 of
APNIC-116 (http://www.apnic.net/policy/historical-resource-policies#4)
Non-Members of LDCs will receive a 50% discount on this fee.
2. IPv4 Transfer Fee
------------------------
All regional and Inter-RIR IPv4 address transfers made by existing
account holders are subject to a transfer fee. This fee does not apply
to:
- Transfers that are to new Non-Member accounts established to
receive IPv4 addresses
- Transfers that are a result of a merger, acquisition, or takeover
- Transfers under the historical resource transfer policy
The transfer fee is charged according to the size of the block being
transferred. The fee is calculated as 20% of the annual membership fee
for a Non-Member holding a block of IPv4 addresses equal to that of the
size of the block that is being transferred.
This fee is charged when the transfer occurs and must be paid before the
transfer is processed.
4. Registry Database Maintenance Fee
---------------------------------------
Historical address account holdings (resources that were allocated to
the holder before the movement of their allocation's registration
records to APNIC's registry) wishing to have authorization to update
these database registration records and create assignment records within
historical resource ranges must pay an annual AUD 200 account fee.
Non-Members of LDCs will receive a 50% discount on this fee.
4.1 Historical Address Holders
Non-Member accounts who hold only Historical addresses and who
pay the Registry database maintenance fee of AUD 200 may continue
to do so.
These accounts requesting ASNs are subject to an application fee
of AUD 1,000 per ASN and the annual fee for the registration
record, which is AUD 100 per ASN.
If these accounts receive a further address delegation from
APNIC, or receive a transfer of address space, the Annual address
fee will apply, including both current and Historical addresses.
5. Service Reactivation Fee
------------------------------
A non-refundable fee of AUD $1,200 will be applied to requests to
reactivate a terminated Non-Member account.
The reactivation fee and any outstanding fees must be paid in full to
reactivate the account. This option is available for a period of three
months only after membership termination. After three months all
previously allocated and assigned resources are subject to reallocation.
Non-Members of LDCs will receive a 50% discount on this fee, as per
section 1.3.

Notes:
1 The minimum annual address fee is AUD 1,200
2 The annual address fee is assessed as the greater of the IPv4 and
IPv6 address fees
3 Reactivation also requires the payment of all outstanding unpaid
fees
4 Non-Members who hold only historical address allocations and who
currently subscribe to the registry database maintenance service
may continue to do so, and not pay the address fee. If the
Non-Member receives a further address allocation from APNIC, or
is the recipient of a transfer of address space, then the address
fee will be payable, and will be assessed on the total address
holdings of the Non-Member, including both current and
historical addresses
5 The reverse DNS Delegation fee has been removed from this
Non-Member fee schedule
7. Taxes and Other Charges
-----------------------------
All fees made under the Non-Member Fee Schedule must be made in cleared
funds, without any deduction or set-off, and clear of any taxes, levies,
imports, duties, charges, fees, and withholdings of any nature imposed
by any bank, financial institution, Governmental, or other body.
If such deductions are made, then the relevant fee is increased by such
additional amounts as are necessary to ensure that APNIC receives the
full amount which APNIC would have received but for the deduction.
8. Adoption of this Fee Schedule
-----------------------------------
This fee schedule will be applied for each Non-Member on the first
anniversary date of the annual membership fee on or after 1 January
2015.
