[members-discuss] Response from Board on Charging Scheme Comments

And again...

The Categories scheme can only work well if you don't have a shortage of
resources. New categories will only permanently approve the "slavery" of
LIRs on IPv4 for little money for the old "masters". This is a dead-end
development path for NCC.

It is necessary to charge an equal fee from each member for each scarce
resource for its "fast" movement (for example, a land tax per square
meter). Unlike the model with categories, where moving a small part of the
resources does not mean anything to the owners' wallet.
