Almost every member of the AC and Board works for a company that is
either transferring (buy or sell) IPv4 addresses, on the waitlist,
consulting on obtaining number resources or just plain "needers". Most
have some or all their responsibilities around it. I'm not all saying
the members or candidates don't have integrity, I'm saying that the
conflicts are more real than some would like to believe. One only has
to view the list of transfers between buyers or look at the waitlist
to scope the size of a conflict. Personally, it feels like the biggest
challenge and risk around conflicts is having more than one person on
the entire body from a single company or its controlled entities.
Hi Martin
That has never been a problem. Everyone working in building internet
being an ISP, a cloud provider or anything related need the IP space to
connect people therefore for the propose they were established and have
always been there. IP space certainly was not created to be made
available for renting or being traded "per se" without any connectivity
services attached for example. This doesn't build any internet in the
region by itself.
One thing is to have someone deciding things alongside with others with
the same propose to build internet and another would be someone taking a
chance on a situation of scarcity that is not good to the community
being able to make certain decisions that may subvert the main propose
of IP addresses.
Warm regards,
