Well Rob, we would have both of our name servers on topologically distinct
networks but ARIN denied our small IPv4 allocation request! You proved my
point that small Orgs have it tougher than larger ones getting resources.

Having worked at tiny organizations for the majority of the time I served on
the ARIN AC as well as NANOG committees and board, this argument rings hollow.
At the end of the day, it's a matter of priorities. Prudence would dictate
that one participate in governance and standards bodies if they are doing stuff
that directly affects one's business. Prudence also dictates that one follow
BCPs regarding putting nameservers for one's zone on topologically distinct
networks.
In both cases, people sometimes prioritize differently, and they often get away
with it. There may even be valid business reasons for doing so (cost outweighs
benefit for instance).
But if you choose to not participate, you've still made a choice.
