As both someone who holds this view and is also named on your list, its
worth noting that I think that its perfectly appropriate that everyone
on that list be restricted from serving on the board while they are in
the employ of organizations who have a major focus on the domain
registration market.

I don't think Vint suffers from this same conflict under Google's
current model.
