I feel that I need to say some thing here. BIND may not be the best
product that can be but it is acceptable for the time being and
available free to all of us. If any one is unhappy about it he(she) can
always come out with some thing better and offer to all of us. Bill Gate
had made(and continue to make) a lot of money with his Windows but I
don;t think our friends had made any fortune with BIND yet!!!
It is very unfair to laugh at them when they had provided free and
voluntary efforts!

Good, then go and do some thing with the ARIN members. Or set up an
alternative organization to represent you and your peers.

I can't comment here as I am not a member of ARIN and don't know how
they work. Do they have your info as a potential eligible member?
HOwever, I feel that you should seek any redress you feel justifiable
directly with ARIN and if still not satisfied maybe you should gang up
with the other ARIN members and potential members to work out a suitable
solution among yourselves. It has nothing to do with ICANN.
