By your logic there is no need for ARIN.

Why would people create a "false" company
which exists primarily to collect dues and other
fees to pay a couple of people to jet set around
the world on exotic vacations and unlimited
expense accounts ?

The ISOC already does that, does the Internet
need another boondoggle organization ?

Why not just allow the IP allocation duties to
get picked up across the distributed Registry
Industry that is already growing ? Centralized
solutions leave the door open for corruption and
clearly have not resulted in any special solutions.
The same people are behind ARIN. Why will
the solutions be any different ?
