<P><FONT SIZE=2>Accountability is a good thing for both ARIN and participants of the ARIN mailing lists, seems to me.<BR>
<BR>
Dean appears to have a problem with the way in which ARIN and it's Board operate and is voicing that concern. Others like yourself are reacting to his statements however they are expressed and for whatever purpose. This IMO is a fine display of the open nature of the ARIN organization and process. Expressions by those who are in sympathy with Dean and those in opposition are useful to help everyone understand where consensus exists.<BR>
<BR>
As an Advisory Council member...and in relation to addressing policy, that is the kind of information I need. In matters of how ARIN operates, again IMO, the industry needs similar guidance.<BR>
<BR>
Related to your suggestion about revoking Dean's employers membership. I am unaware that ARIN has a procedure for doing so and especially related to his input on this list, it would seem totally inadvisable (IMO). This would distort the openness of the forum and institution. Should others on the list hold him accountable for his assertions (or indeed his employer)? Of course as that is what makes a discussion fruitful.<BR>
<BR>
And, the more that engage in the process (on either side) establishes the greater and more credible value.<BR>

I am on board with you. But I would propose to call a vote to have<BR>
Dean's [employers] membership removed, I'm sure we'll quickly find out<BR>
where the majority is. I am all for discussion, but many things he<BR>
has said have been outright threats and not productive.<BR>
<BR>
And for those interested, I have no official ties to NANOG/ARIN,<BR>
except to be a member of ARIN and a conference attendee of NANOG.<BR>
