Apologies John, I really don't mean to pick on you
personally.
I'd point out though that the organization exists thanks to
state funding. The whole thing would be rather different if all
the participants were volunteers.
(are all high speed nodes also run by and paid for volunteers?)
Whatever I may think of your other beliefs about the organization, the funding model is definitely a problem. Same goes for Mozilla taking money from Google, MS, eBay, etc. Organizations building important infrastructure need to be independent.
