Token Posting

Many people have probably heard of token-passing networks.
In that scheme there is a token that is passed from station
to station. If a station has the token it can use the network.
If it does not want to use the network, it can pass it to the
next station.

Since people have been claiming that they do not get
a chance to speak, and since most people probably came
to this discussion to hear the ARIN founders speak, I
suggest that a "token posting" scheme be used to
make things fair and to give everyone a chance to
contribute.

As shown below, the indicator is placed at the
top of the list of founders. After that founder posts,
they move the arrow to the next founder.
