[governance] Bottom up open to anyone

[Eric Dierker]

I find this interchange quite interesting.
 
1. What does the term bottom up mean?  I have never seen a seat filled by a consumer with no credentials in Internet work.
 
2. Really, the lists are not monitored and censored and are open to anyone?  And Milton is the example of openness and bottom up??
 
This is a fine "suitable cadre" discussion.

Local Internet Registries should operate on a cost recovery basis, some do and some inevitably make IP addresses a profit center.

 
Secondly there is no system for Civil Society
and Non-Commercial User engagement

This is where the misconception is entirely yours.  Anyone can join the policy discussion lists and have an impact on Internet numbering resource policy.  Currently, I do not represent any ISP or LIR, yet participate in developing policies in multiple regions.  Really, the system is open to anyone, technically minded or otherwise.  Milton's experience in the ARIN region also prove this, as he has had a not insignificant impact on ARIN policy making since he joined the list.

 
, more or less, a structure coming
down from the parent number resource system.


Nope, completely bottom up.  Where do you get these false notions from?
