Issues of Importance
I care about good Internet governance, Internet stability and security, reliable RIR services, and keeping member costs reasonable. While providing fairness and balance to all members as we pursue the further adoption of IPv6, RPKI, and accuracy within the registry.
IPv6
Effectively managing our IPv4 resources will give us the needed time to fully implement IPv6. Supporting IPv6 is critical for the long term health of the Internet.
Global internet Governance
As one of the five RIR we have a responsibility to work together for the good of the global internet community. Dealing with any global conflict in a fair and even handed manner is vital.
Arin Service
ARIN needs to maintain and enhance our member services to keep blocks from being transferred to other RIRs.
RPKI
Fully implementing RPKI will help protect our members and the internet as a whole. As an ARIN board member I will help promote policies that will speed up acceptance and implementation.
ARIN Budget Reasonability
As an ARIN board member I will make sure we manage our financial resources to the benefit of our members, while keeping our fees reasonable.
IPv4 transfers
The transfer market has helped extend the life of IPv4 while the community transitions to IPv6. Leasing will also help extend IPv4 runway by putting unused numbers into active service.
SPEAKING
I recently had the privelege of participating in the NANOG Conference's Panel about Buying and Selling IPv4 Addresses
