Let's translate that:  There is no consensus in the community who  
defines goals and objectives for ARIN to do Something.  Can you tell  
me how we can hijack the process and subjugate the community to our  
will?

Roger -- although you'll find I'm no fan of Legacy holders and their  
"rights", I can't say that I follow your logic on having ARIN just "do  
something" against the will of the community.
