I don’t know or care Kurtis. I’m not an NCC member.

Not that it matters. Most of the recent concerns that have been raised are about the perceived closeness of the Nomcom and candidates to the NCC, possible conflicts of interest, etc, etc. I doubt these are going to be eased if the Chairman of RIPE effectively becomes an employee of the FCC.

Whether the Chairman gets paid or not is behind the point I was trying to make. So let me rephrase that earlier comment: "I’m going to take leave of absence for a full-time job as RIPE Chairman for an unknown length of time while RIPE bickers. Hope that’s OK with you.”. How do you think the LINX Board would react if you suggested something like that? I know how my employer - me! - would react.
