Thank you very much Gordon, but I haven't made the many years of personal 
blood sweat and tears contribution/innovation in the basic net makeup
-RFC's etc- that our community looks for and *needs* in an ARIN trustee. 
This is the prime reason why most of us don't think our current Trustees 
Scott, Randy et al, will screw it up - They just have too much invested in 
their labor of love - The Internet. Its the same reason we want Vixie
making sure that DNS doesn't break, he would rather loose an arm than
see that happen.

On the other hand, his staying does make some sense from a transition 
standpoint.
