i disagree.  at the top of page 3 of the 2006 annual report, which is online
at <http://www.arin.net/about_us/corp_docs/annual/report2006.pdf>, we see:

	"Public Participation Leading to Positive Results"
			"Who is ARIN? You Are!"

i agree with this.  what it means is, ARIN is controlled by the community,
and "ARIN management" serves the community's stated interests.  i think that
the community has got plenty of courage, and that ARIN management has got
plenty of competence.

if you think something's not fair, make a policy proposal to fix it.  if you
can get public support then it'll mean others agree as to what is/isn't fair.

note, i am an ARIN Trustee as well as president of ISC (an ARIN Member.)
