We are looking at increased costs largely because we expect the "run out 
fairly" and IPv4 depletion measures to result in much more work for 
registration services. In addition we are throwing more resources at 
Ipv6 outreach. We've set a deficit budget to try and compensate and 
reduce the fees to the members. Full budget (and charging scheme 
details) will be available well in time for the AGM.

As has been mentioned, though, the budget and charging scheme are 
actually separate (although related) issues.
