We're talking about the membership fee of an association that does *not* *own* any of the ressources we're all interessted in. So it's either a single fee for everyone – as it's now –, maybe plus a general "service fee" per maintained object (like there is already for some, like PI).

Or the total cost of running that association should be distributed per "unit maintained per member". To alleviate the effect of time, unit's should be "smallest usable unit", i. e. ASN, domain, /24 equivalents, /48 equivalents. (I would skip the first two, though.)

Creating only a handful of categories is way to few given the discrepancies between the members, and before fiddling with 20+ categories, one should go all the way to a "bill per unit"-modell.

Commenting from the view of an v4/23+v4/23+v6/29 LIR,
