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.

FWIW, as much as John and I disagree about the fee structure, I do agree with Marty here. John does an excellent job doing what he does for ARIN and the
salary he is receiving is probably a substantial pay cut from some of his previous endeavors. I have no issue with any of the people above receiving the
salaries that they do from ARIN on the same basis described above by Marty.
