[4] If ARIN is such a great idea why don't the proposed founders quit their comfortable jobs, give up their benefits and U.S. Government funding and start ARIN ? That is what other people do when they want to start a business.
(a) Some of the proposed founders *WILL* be quitting their comfortable jobs to go work at ARIN. (b) "venture capital". Almost nobody (except for very small mom&pop operations on the low end) starts a business totally on their own funds. Why should this be any different? -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Engineer Virginia Tech
