What if an ICANN employee wanted to work for another Internet related<br>

I don't think ICANN regulates ISOC, or vice versa.<br>

I didn't mean to imply they did.<br>

And I didn't suggest you did - the "A regulates B" criterion is one I'm suggesting is important when discussing 'revolving doors'.</blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>correct, that is important.</div>

Surely the issue here is moving from poacher to gamekeeper (or vice versa)<br>
rather than staying a gamekeeper but for a different estate.<br>

<br>
Both should be allowed (poachers often make the best gamekeepers, and I<br>
don't see any rationale for limiting the movement from one estate to<br>
another.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
Indeed, I was suggesting it *should* be allowed - ie no problem someone moving between ICANN & ISOC. (In both cases their secretariat or board, of course; I don't think either of us are talking about restrictions on the wider membership).</blockquote>

There's quite a demand for this (I've lost count of the number of adverts for regulatory positions in private industry where a previous spell in a relevant government department or regulator's office is listed).</blockquote>
