HOWEVER, my unsolicited idea is why not create either multiple kinds of board positions, where by "multiple" I'm thinking two at least to begin, voting/non-voting or similar. Or another (small) "advisory" -- pick a word, let's not get hung up on terminology -- board with enough teeth that it's not just token. I'd argue, for starters, just being in the room and having a role and access to the same information would be enough to make it more than just token. A lot of diversity depends on just being heard effectively as much as specific voting/veto powers. This idea would probably make more sense if the specific diversifications desired were assigned to these new roles. That could even be a transitional change, something to do for some number of years, review the result, and take up expanding the board per se, or not, at a later date. P.S. I do realize this would be more work in terms of organizational and by-laws changes, etc than just expanding the existing board. It's not as simple as changing a number. The new structures would have to be defined and incorporated into existing structures including no doubt legal considerations (e.g., how would such a newly defined role be indemnified?) -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | b...@theworld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo* ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2018 09:43:50 -0400 From: ARIN <i...@arin.net> To: arin-consult@arin.net Subject: [ARIN-consult] Consultation on Proposed 2018 Fee Schedule Changes Message-ID: <8b692b62-277e-4be8-fed6-8d7f8c12e...@arin.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed ARIN?s Strategic Plan calls for ARIN to recover costs in a fair and equitable manner via appropriate fees to maintain adequate funds for the long-term stability of the organization. ARIN has increased operating costs in recent years to meet customer demand for improved and broader services, and upon review, the Board of Trustees has called for both strategic cost management by the organization and some fee increases in order to preserve long-term organizational reserves. https://www.arin.net/about_us/corp_docs/stratplan-2018-2019.pdf The ARIN Board is proposing the following fee changes: * Increasing the annual registry maintenance fee paid by end users for each IPv4 address block, IPv6 address block, and Autonomous System Number (?ASN?) from $100 to $150 per object. Registration Services Plan customers do not pay these annual registry maintenance fees as all services are already covered in their plan. * Increasing the annual Legacy maintenance fee for each IPv4 address block and ASN from $100 to $150 per object ? i.e., the same change as proposed for end-user maintenance fees. The Legacy maintenance fee is to cover costs associated with Internet number resources held under a Legacy Registration Services Agreement (?LRSA?). (Note also that some very early LRSA agreements include a limit on the annual increase of total maintenance fees; ARIN will implement any fee increase consistent with the terms of those agreements.) * Increasing the initial and annual registration fee for ARIN Transfer Facilitators from $100 to $1,000, in order to cover rising costs associated with services. We are seeking community feedback on these modifications to ARIN?s Fee schedule that we intend to implement sometime mid-year 2018. This consultation will remain open for forty-five (45) days, after which time the Board will evaluate community feedback and determine appropriate changes to the fee schedule. Please provide comments to arin-consult@arin.net. Discussion on arin-consult@arin.net will close on 25 May 2018. If you have any questions, please contact us at i...@arin.net.

And there are already 88 staff, the majority of whom are in Engineering. The theory was that they were supposed to be temporary contractors, doing one-time projects to automate ARIN registry functions. Yet the ?temporary? part never seems to come to a conclusion. Can you present the budget, and explain what specific new services you?re proposing to perform with this additional money, and give us a status-update on the progress being made toward specific goals by the existing 45 engineers? -Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

However, this announcement does not include any data to justify why these two service areas are the focus for fee increases. Are these service areas under recovering their associated costs? Are the increased operating costs mentioned specifically related to these two service areas? Are there projections for the increased revenue from these changes?
