To the beset of my knowledge, membership has never been a criterion for eligibility to run. It is a requirement to be able to nominate and to vote.
I don’t think this is a change. What has changed is the behavior of (and possibly the mandate and guidance given to) the nominating committee. This new behavior is the kind of manipulation of process I expect to see in AFRINIC. It comes as a surprise in the ARIN region. I’m not sure what [email protected] thinks is going on and he doesn’t elaborate beyond a rather terse claim that some sort of effort towards capture is occurring. Care to elaborate, Scott?
