well.. fees and EC members.. Isn't that the most
important? and should be the most fair? Setting aside
cultural differences of the term "fair".
So when the votes are distributed as they are now -
the final result is not going to be one of the
community/membership, but a result of the largest
network operators.
Perhaps in APNIC's early days, this was desired.. Like
start-up companies stacking their board and knowing
the results of shareholder meetings before the meeting
takes place. But is it required now?
