Ted,
	I don't think anyone was sweeping anything under the rug.  I believe
the board plans to document this decision fully in the policy along with
their public announcement of the decision.

	The fact that my proposal hit the public before the board's  
announcement
is an error on my part, for which I sincerely apologize to the Board  
and to the
community for the confusion it has and will cause.

	I am upset by the board's actions, and, I stand by my proposal, but,  
the
timing error is my fault and not an effort by the board to cover  
anything up.
I have the utmost respect for our board and believe that they are people
of integrity doing what they believe is best for ARIN and the community.

Owen
