[AusNOG] Warrant-less Info Requests / Cost Recovery

[Matt Perkins]

I don't like the idea of the whole fee per request model. We are a business focused provider. We don't have thousands or home users. As such we get a total of about 1 request every few years. 

At that rate the cost of compliance for us may be thousands or even hundreds of thousands depending on the interpretation of the proposed legislation. With perhaps one or two request every couple of years.  We don't even get more then a perhaps 1 or 2 copyright notices a month. We could never pay for the cost of compliance even at $1000 a request. 

Matt
