My understanding of how this all works would be that if the anti-abuse 
community felt strongly that a fee for ASN would reduce abuse on the 
Internet, that it could put together a proposal saying just that. While 
this would ultimately have to be up to the members to approve (*), at 
least they would have a clear proposal with documented rational to discuss.

(*) I guess? I admit to never having read the details of how charging is 
set, since I have never represented a RIPE NCC member.
