As far as term limits go, there are a multitude of organizations that use them and suffer little from it including federal, state and municipal governments, non profts like the Appalachian Mountain Club, NANOG, and many others. There are a variety of problems term limits may help with including the self perpetuation concern, under representation (only a fraction of resource holders are actually "represented" and stagnation (Gov term limit task and PDP Simplification Committee). Term limits would likely resolve or soften some worthwhile problems. Why is ARIN different than all of these other venerable organizations?
