AW: [members-discuss] Discuss Charging Scheme 2010

Marcus,

it was mine idea about contractual relationship between DA user and LIR,
not hostmasters'. You can look into 2007-01 discussion thread ;)

The idea is for some regions (i.e. ex-USSR) is very difficult (and in
some cases - military and goverment organizations for example - just
impossible) to sign international contracts and pay even 0.01 EUR
abroad. And this is only for helping them to save their DAs, nothing else.
