I am not sure I understand the argument here. If you think that ARIN is not representing the address space holders in proper fashion, how would we suggest correcting that?
i have made off the cuff suggestions. but seriously, i would seek real external governance counsel.
If an address holder does not become a member (which is fairly easy to do if you care enough) how would we even know what their concerns or feelings are?
read my lips
the number of /24s is not proportional to the total number of members
which is why i asked both questions
Given that the US Gov't holds a vast amount of the legacy space skews the results a lot. They might or might not be a "member" but they certainly hold a lot of influence in ARINs operation as the one who controls the contract. If ARIN was to cross them the wrong way, they might not be holding that contract very long.
there is no such contract. arin is not the icann or iana. randy
