Well, we are not without remedies. Let me outline those:

Under the ARIN bylaws, Board Members can be recalled by a vote of the
membership. Although 2 Board Members were just elected, I think that the
members were probably not aware of all the facts. However, the Board
Members were aware of these facts.  So, I propose a recall vote for the
following Board Members:

	John Curran
	Bill Manning
	Bill Woodcock
	Paul Vixie

That vote will either succeed or fail. If it succeeds, we are in the
majority, and 4 new board members will be selected that don't have ties
to Nanog/Curran/Manning/Woodcock/Vixie/ et al.

If the vote fails, then we are in the minority. Minority members still
have rights.  Among those rights are the right to file a derivative
lawsuit on behalf of ARIN against the Board Members and ARIN Management.

For example, members have the right to obtain a full accounting of the
benefits transferred from ARIN to Nanog and Board Member cronies, as
well as investigate the Cohen/Kremen affair.  We have the right to
challenge the classification and justification of expenses (this is how
affairs like Enron/Worldcom came to light).  We have the right to obtain
restitution of improperly transferred benefits. There are other rights,
too.

I agree, the first step is a full accounting and an investigation. I
suppose the Board is already contemplating the need for independent
outside counsel to oversee this investigation, or will be shortly.
