So, just to be clear about this Owen, are you asserting that, contrary to
the first-person testimony contained in the video, there are not now, and
there have not been, within, say, the preceeding calendar year, back from today,
any attempts to purchase "voting rights" from any member organization of
AFRINIC, and that no member of AFRINIC has been either offered or given any
kind of compensation, renumeration, inducement, or "investment" of any kind
which has been conditioned upon the receiving member either changing its
official vote(s) or giving over control of said vote(s) to any other party
or parties?

Owen, I know that, much like myself, you are enamored of extensive elaboration,
but in this instance I do believe that a simple yes or no will do.

And its important for the ARIN community to not be misled by one sided
subjective views from Owen.

Time will tell and the Afrinic community representatives shall present
their side of the story and what has been happening then you as a numbers
community can make your own judgement.

The message in that video is not misinformation as we have other members
who have collaborated openly what is being stated in the video.

I second this as well, Owens presenting arguments with what seems like good
logic with short term gains, is long term loss to the parties who should be
on watch and then do not do so, and now we have to watch said parties edge
in board votes to the bodies who's responsibility is to stop exactly this,
by parties who want more freedom with moving IPv4 space offshore.
No.

It’s actually full of misinformation.

It misstates the AFRINIC bylaws, the contents of the RSA, and the CPM.

It is also from one of the candidates hand picked by the board and Nominating 
Committee to railroad the election.

The election has been challenged and is currently blocked by court order 
because of the improper acts of the board in conducting it.

This is a much bigger mess than folks here are likely to be aware of and the 
AFRINIC board is rather thoroughly off the rails at this point.

I don't wish to be chastized for being off-topic here, but just briefly
my own view is that "cutthoat capitalism", for lack of a better term, and
total monetization of all IPv4 resources is likely the historically
inevitable final endpoint for all these resources, however I have a
strong preference for seeing things reach that inevitable endpoint as
a result of free, fair, and orderly democratic processes, rather than
via a concerted campaign of litigation, intimidation, and bribery, the
latter approach being repugnant to my personal sense of fair play generally.

ARIN has been thinking about this sort of problem for years. Their
solution is an interesting one - members have to regularly vote to
remain members. If they don't, they fall back to being "ordinary"
registrants and have a process with a waiting period that they have to
go through to become members and vote again. It's not yet tested but
in theory, the result is that it's too much work with too long a lead
time to successfully buy a vote from more than a few people vulnerable
to selling their vote.

Bill Herrin

Re: [arin-ppml] AFRINIC vote buying

2022-06-01 Thread Fernando Frediani
In my humble personal opinion this is the result and natural side-effect 
of stimulating things like IP Leasing from those who have a lot of spare 
IP Address to those who have been seeking it specially in the times of 
IPv4 exhaustion.


Some people, even those who are not directly involved in these type of 
business, belittle it and say that´s a normal thing, that we have to 
accept it, etc, etc, but it is not.
It is not by chance that this has never been an accepted practice to 
justify the need for resources to any RIR, because IP addresses are a 
shared owned resource and should not be available to be disposed at will 
by any resource holders.


Because of this distortion this said "normal thing" causes in the market 
it may have side effects like this and why everyone that cares about 
stability of this system should strongly repeal any kind of IP Leasing 
in order to not worse things even more in the ecosystem we are all 
involved. Today is in AfriNic, tomorrow may be at your nextdoor.

Fernando
