Why shouldn’t the people with guns take charge to protect their citizens privacy and security? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If we are seen to fail, don’t these governments have an obligation to protect their citizens by assuming control? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The current (and still young) system seems to provide a vulnerability which effectively allows the Board/AC to name their own replacements.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The NomCom is comprised of 4 insiders and two volunteers selected by those same insiders.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It operates in secrecy, is not required to disclose reasons for rejecting candidates, and as we can see by the limited size of the slates approved for this election cycle, can manipulate the situation to favor some and exclude others. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The relief-valve is the petition process, which itself is quite onerous given the level of list participation or general participation in ARIN.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Why is the requirement so high, at 25% of voting membership?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Again this goes to larger and to-my-mind unresolved issues of the limits of board control versus community control.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Some in this community and in other RIRs have recently argued that authority comes from the community and is delegated to the board in a limited fashion to allow execution of policy choices.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Others feel the board is the authority and has rights to supersede the community’s wishes.

What was in place didn’t affect me adversely, so I didn’t read the new policy announcements, didn’t care who was running things, didn’t even bother to vote quite honestly. It wasn’t until the somewhat recent waiting list policy change fiasco that I started making a point of following what is happening with ARIN.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>With that said, I consider myself somewhat of an outsider, so I may be over-simplifying things. However, this is how I’m interpreting this process. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>1: The Board selects a nominating committee, which then has the authority to accept or reject candidates from the ballot. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>2: The nominating committee is insulated in as such that they don’t have to provide their reasons for accepting or rejecting the candidate, even to the candidate themselves.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>3: The only recourse is for the person to file a petition to get 124 member orgs to sign to be forced onto the ballot, which is a hurdle that those already accepted by the nominating committee do not have pass.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>4: The end-result would appear to be a limited selection on the ballot of people hand-picked by the existing Board, thereby ensuring the overall direction of the Board stays the same.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Someone else already suggested a reform to the system above, where the nom-com would have to provide their reasons for rejection, which I fully support. I’d also suggest that if there is going to be a 2% petition requirement to be on the ballot, it should be for all candidates, not just for those who the nom-com rejects.
