[arin-discuss] Importance of Corporate Governance

[Scott.Shackelford at cox.com]

Seriously, can this be moved to another (created) thread or list? 

 Really...can someone at ARIN sanction that to happen or do we all have
to suffer? Let the people that want to be involved stay involved in
another 'place', but those of us that don't; let us out please.

My inbox is already maxed out and I can barely keep up with my delete
button.

If Dean truly has factual support for his allegations then there are
many avenues open to him. The courts are one, assembling votes from
within the ARIN constituency for change in the board (either at-term or
mid-term) are another.

Dean has to date elected not to pursue any such legitimate avenue to
actually remediate his claims of problems.

I do not believe that this forum is one where ARIN board members are
required to respond to any or every accusation within a prompt
timeframe. Or at all, for that matter. This is a discussion forum and
not a tribunal of accountability. John and others from the board have
responded within reasonable timeframes to reasonable questions - and the
matter will apparently be discussed in the appropriate forum for such
matters (the actual physical meeting). This would also be the
appropriate forum for Dean's issues.

Dean, if you expect the board to answer so quickly and precisely, why is
it that you have not responded to any of the people on this forum who
have politely requested that you take up a specific and valid action to
make change, rather than espouse the same rhetoric over and over? You
certainly have been asked on many occasions. Why no suit or petition?

I strongly support your right to take a legal or electoral action if you
have proof of malfeasance. I do not support your continued rhetoric
without such action.

Finally, your possession of a well-worn legal dictionary no more makes
you an attorney that does my mother's possession of a copy of Newton's
Telecom Dictionary make her an network engineer. Though I'm glad she has
it as a reference, I wouldn't let her touch my routers.
