Are we talking about the same CIRA? Also speaking as a CIRA accredited 
registrar, I've not experienced or heard the same thing. I can't beleive 
that things have changed that drastically since you were the CIRA 
chairman and your CFO was also on the board.

The only issue that I've heard of where recusals were a problem was with 
   last years first vote on price decreases where some took the position 
that registrar recusals were necessary because registrars stood to 
benefit. I, not a board member, took the position that then everyone 
should have to recuse themselves as registrants that would stand to gain.

Given the historical friction between you and CIRA, I'm not surprised to 
hear these things coming from you, but I doubt that few, if any, of the 
leading ca-registrars would see things the same way...
