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.
