Vixie, Conrad, Manning, Woodcock, Curran, Plzak, Ed Lewis, etc all worked together at ARIN, and have had 22 ARIN employees attend NANOG, including the ARIN executive secretary. ARIN is giving NANOG $50,000 checks, even though the Board members have undisclosed conflicts of interest. ARIN resource analysts have (and probably are now) attending NANOG. The resource analysts are the guys who make allocation decisions, so getting chummy with NANOG people is a conflict of interest in the making. So far, I've discovered two cases where ARIN has made allocations in 2 hours.
