I expect that most LIRs don't really know what to put in a contract
for PI address applicants. Once we implement this policy proposal,
the RIPE contract for PI applicants will become a model for LIRs to
use for their own PI applicants. I don't expect LIRs to charge their
customers anything for signing a PI contract so I agree that it is 
likely that existing PI users will not face any additional fees
as long as they are buying some kind of network service from their
LIR.
