Dear Owen and PDWG, I don’t think this is an off-topic. There are reasons why we always have session on “policy update from other RIRs” at every PPM…it’s like we care for what happened at ARIN PDP through its AC and possible impact on our PDP and related issues
In response to the statement below, one would like to know why is Owen talking about “ was not forced to resign”? Nobody said so AFAIK, how come the position at ARIN constitute restraint to speech and why only now? And question for this community is how do we deal with conflict of interest in our PDP?

Apologies to the list for this off-topic posting, but given the unwarranted attention already paid to the matter and the escalating level of speculation, I beg your indulgence. This will (hopefully) be the only post I make on the matter here. For clarity: 1. I chose to resign my position on the ARIN AC. I was not forced to resign. I did not have to resign. So your speculation is neither accurate, nor appropriate and the implications are offensive. 2. I chose to resign in order to have greater freedom and flexibility to advocate for changes in the internet community, some of which would be considered a conflict of interest with my role as an Advisory Council member. While I have been outspoken by most standards, the reality is that my position on the AC did serve as a significant restraint to my speech in many cases. The time has come where I felt the need to remove that restraint in order to best serve the community. Reading anything other than the above into it would be a mistake and further speculation is very unlikely to produce any accurate conclusions. If anyone has questions about my resignation, they are free to ask me directly, but this really is not an appropriate topic for this list.
