And I didn't suggest you did - the "A regulates B" criterion is one I'm 
suggesting is important when discussing 'revolving doors'.

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).

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).
