[ARIN-consult] Consultation on Proposed Bylaws Changes

[Andrew Dul]

Would there be value in considering the addition of appointed non-voting
members of the board?  Clearly one who is appointed to this seat(s)
would not be a full member and thus doesn't change the current voting
structure (so it looks less like a quota seat), but it might be a way to
signal to the membership for the next year's election that an individual
who was appointed merits serious consideration as a regular elected
board member.
