[ARIN-consult] Reminder: Consultation on Increasing the size of the ARIN Board of Trustees

[John Springer]

OK, then.

If the question has expanded to reflect the earmarking of seats for region
or gender, then, yes, I support that notion.

But if the question is still as originally posed, to expand the number of
board members, to have room for diversity to expand into, without explicit
earmarks, I support that too. It is much better than doing nothing. It
shows a good faith attempt to come to grips with the problem and with any
luck, will serve to encourage the very groups that it seeks to engage.

There is no number of white, North American males, denying that a problem
exists, that would justify taking no action.
