I am not asking about the annual charge for independent 
resources but the fact that they are to be used to calculate
the billing score for members.

The 2011 billing scheme states:

"To determine a billing category, a score is calculated based 
on Aggregatable Internet number resources made to a member over
time."

It specifically refers to PA resources, so including end-user
Independent resources is a *fundamental* change.

The annual charge, of course, applies *as well*, so these 
resources are charges, in fact, twice.

I have already accepted that IRs assigned *to the LIR* should 
be included to prevent a LIR from using PI as "cheap PA", what
I would like to know, still, is how including *end-user assigned*
IR is justified.
