My 2009 ARIN Election Platform

September 30, 2009

In my previous post about this years ARIN elections, I promised to write a bit more about my own candidacy.  I guess in political terms that means outlining my platform.  Lucky for me, that is actually quite simple, my platform can be summarized in one word: Openness.
Openness defines my candidacy for two reasons; it is [...]
