[ARIN-consult] Consultation on Expanding the Size of the ARIN Board of Trustees

[Frank Bulk]

In order to actually achieve the diversity (“Internet service providers of all sizes and types (transit, access, etc.), Internet online and content industries, data center and cloud operators, educational and government networks, commercial firms, and civil society”) desired by the proposal, would it be appropriate to more formally identify those areas of the ecosystem where representation is desired and then have people run for seats representing those areas of the ecosystem?  For example:

Seat 1: Small ISPs

Seat 2: Large ISPs

Seat 3: Data centers

Seat 4: CDNs

Seat 5: Educational & gov’t networks

Seat 6: Commerical

Seat 7: Civil Society

Seat 8: At large #1

Seat 9: At large #2

Seat 10: ARIN CEO

Not necessarily.  If the body of knowledge of the existing 7-member board is grossly deficient given today's internet ecosystem, then perhaps three additional seats would not be an adequate increase.  If the current board found that there were areas of expertise consistently requiring outside consultation then it should be fairly easy to identify at least a few areas of expertise that would be an asset to board's decision making.  For example:  technical expertise, legal expertise, expertise in governmental matters, etc.

This is a “known unknowns” question, right?
