How true... many not-for-profit and non-profit organizations have
some very cherry financials, and are sitting much prettier than
many for-profit entities.
I have an idea:
Perhaps ARIN needs to explain each dollar in/out with the same
amount of detail and scrutiny involved with IP allocations. All
money spent needs to be extremely well documented; summaries are
insufficient. Show actual receipts, reports explaining the
necessity of the expenditures, and proof that the expenditures
were the most efficient choices.
It seems many are curious about fringe benefits. That makes as
good of a starting point as any. "ICANN support" and "other
Internet support" also look interesting.
Because ARIN is to serve the Internet community, perhaps it
should be controlled by such, with Internet-community reps voting
on each ARIN expenditure. One representative per ASN? Per
netblock? Per IP address would be the worst approach, with those
holding unjustified /8 blocks getting unfair voting clout.
Domain registration service improved when a few competitors came
to town. That also is a { uniqueness & authority delegation }
service. Parallels? I think so...
