Based on your understanding of ARIN’s current strategic plan and the environment in which it operates, what opportunities or challenges do you foresee for the organization?

My knowledge and experience in Web3 and Decentralization can help me with identification of challenges and devising strategies to turn those challenges in to opportunities.
