Michael - could you please explain this conflict?  NSI will be financing
ARIN until it is capable of fully funding itself.  It is certainly
understandable that they would want a seat on the BoT until they
are no longer financially involved.  

Again, I don't understand why you feel the fact that NSI is a
domain registry would cause a conflict.
