@What does the material contain? A report or an opinion.
@Whose words are reported?

Since the material is not a "transcript", similar to what
you might see from a court reporter or in a deposition
it is the "view" of the person writing it. This may not be
the way you view things in Singapore, but this is the
common view from the U.S. where a free press has been
in place for a long time.
If you do assume that the ARIN view that was reported
is equivalent to a transcript, then we have to agree to
disagree, which is probably what we should have done
long ago. I think that most people view the reporting that
came from ARIN as their view of Magaziner's presentation.
I am certain there are probably aspects which are left
out. There are probably aspects that are given more
emphasis than Magaziner intended. It is a shame that
Magaziner and all of the people involved in these matters
do not engage in mail list discussions. Then you would
see exactly what they say and you could draw your own
conclusions.
Let's face it, most of the people trying to control the
Internet resource allocation process are afraid of using
the Internet. Why...???...I'll let you decide that...
