The NCC is tasked by the members to keep track on "which ASN is where?"
and "can unused ASes be returned?".

This has a serious impact on employee costs in the RS department.

Introducing a small yearly annoyance (= per-piece fee) creates an automatic
incentive to return unused ASNs "just to get rid of this yearly invoice"
at the end users, while at the same time reducing NCC RS workload, thus,
member fees.
