I would think that topics that affect the fee structure of the members would be open only to the members. Having the general public drive the costs of the engineering functions of ARIN seems off. We clearly must have the policy process and procedures open, but driving the operations of ARIN should be a member matter since costs impact our fees. And our fees are high.
