[ppml] Policy Proposal 2003-15: IPv4 Allocation Policy for theAfrica Portion of the ARIN Region

[Jeff S Wheeler]

I don't think anyone is suggesting the ARIN be limited by policy to a
fixed head-count. My belief is simply that many expenditures by the ARIN
are irresponsible, and that some are most likely designed to direct
monies to personal associates of parties with spending discretion.

Most of the ARIN members I know who actually take the time to examine
ARIN's annual reports are outraged by the large sums of money that are
spent under vague headings.

If I had to come up with a reasonable proposal to address this
"problem", it would be to increase the level of public expense
accountability by requiring more detailed reports be prepared and
published. I suspect that if two million dollars spent on travel and
accomodations
