[arin-ppml] ARIN's Authority - One view (was: Re: LRSA concerns)

[Milton L Mueller]

True, if you frame it that way: NEVER stop thinking like a techie if you
are one, but strive to consider also the economic factors driving your
technical options and how policies might alter them. If you think like a
policy person, however, you look not only at your own choice
constellation but at the aggregate of other people's choices and how
your choices might affect theirs and vice versa. That can be difficult.
And apologies again if anyone was offended by my original construction.
This debate (while vital) is getting tedious and we're all getting a bit
cranky.
