[arin-discuss] Status of Investigations

[Paul Vixie]

if the facts alleged by filings in a lawsuit are to be given the same
weight as truth, then rather than look at 8 year old TRO filings, may
i suggest a more recent and pointed reference, that being the verisign
lawsuit against icann, in which i was a named co-conspirator.  just
because these lawsuits never went to trial doesn't mean that everything
contained in the filings can't be used as character evidence here.

furthermore, if the employment of former MAPS employees after leaving
MAPS ought to reflect on the founders of MAPS somehow, then shouldn't
you also do an exhaustive search to find out where every one of them
wound up?  (and also for every other company founded by any ARIN board
member?)  (or any company where an ARIN board member was an executive?)

i find the quality of the investigations so far deplorably low.
