I am tempted to throw gasoline on this fire. However, that isn't
productive, nor is this, in light of a serious concern related to the fee
structure. Is hare that concern as well.

If we want good people? We pay. For most of these positions and salaries
pay is well below career positions that most of these folks could easily
obtain in the industries we/ARIN serves. Nobody is getting rich working at
ARIN. John Curran is the face of the organization and it's his job to
answer these questions. It may not be his job to answer _every_ question,
but speaking for myself: I have zero issue with his pay and duties.

Fees are ultimately the board's responsibility:
