<div>Almost every member of the AC and Board works for a
company that is either transferring (buy or sell) IPv4
addresses, on the waitlist, consulting on obtaining number
resources or just plain "needers". Most have some or all
their responsibilities around it. I'm not all saying the
members or candidates don't have integrity, I'm saying
that the conflicts are more real than some would like to
believe. One only has to view the list of transfers
between buyers or look at the waitlist to scope the size
of a conflict. Personally, it feels like the biggest
challenge and risk around conflicts is having more than
one person on the entire body from a single company or its
controlled entities. <br>

<p>Hi Martin</p>
<p>That has never been a problem. Everyone working in building
internet being an ISP, a cloud provider or anything related need
the IP space to connect people therefore for the propose they were
established and have always been there. IP space certainly was not
created to be made available for renting or being traded "per se"
without any connectivity services attached for example. This
doesn't build any internet in the region by itself.</p>
<p>One thing is to have someone deciding things alongside with
others with the same propose to build internet and another would
be someone taking a chance on a situation of scarcity that is not
good to the community being able to make certain decisions that
may subvert the main propose of IP addresses.<br>
