[arin-discuss] voting

[John Curran]

Mike -
 
   Thanks for the concrete suggestions on changes to the
   trustee election process.   If anyone else has specific
   suggestions, please post them succinctly. 

   We will, as previously noted, have a discussion with on-
   site and remote participation of the election process and
   suggested changes.

Perhaps adding a web-interactive component would give everyone a chance to participate.  This does speak to a larger question of web-casting the meeting for voting on all issues as well, but that's probably beyond the scope of your question. 
>2) Speaking to Ted's response - perhaps a list-developed set of hot button issues that are presented to the candidates and to which all responses are posted to the list.

>5) Specific modification to bylaws indicating non-participation equates to abstention.  I think the due diligence of notifying members multiple times plus making the candidates info available on the web is sufficient for this purpose.  IANAL of course.
