[arin-discuss] Importance of Corporate Governance

<snip>

the history starts and ends with the fact that mr. anderson thinks
it's a good and right thing to run an open mail relay.  still.  he
never joined the rest of us in 1997.  he still lives in the early 90s
where the people are good and the internet is open.

oh, he also thinks that anycast (the system that provides resiliency
to the global DNS system, and serves up content from some of the
largest content providers in the world) won't work and is a scam.

get your head around these positions and then decide what credibility
any of his policy or technical proposals may have.

on a concrete note:  it's easy to imagine some kookiness slipping by
during the AC or Board elections.  one wonders if a technical test or
statement or debate would not be useful to determine which candidates
(like mr. vixie, for example) have a long history of technical
competence and innovation and will clearly understand the technical
background behind the policy governance issues, and which lack such
clue and basic common sense.  

i'm not sure the best way to accomplish that.  i like the idea of a
web debate among candidates if it were feasible, with audience
questions coming over irc/jabber.
