[ARIN-consult] Consultation on Proposed Bylaws Changes

[Owen DeLong]

I don’t think creating a second class of citizenship on the board sends the right message at all.

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.

The community should know what these requirements are so they can make an informed decision about who to vote for.  If the board desperately needs CFO-like expertise then the community should know that.

If you just divided our six elected seats up by population, you’d get 5.33 seats for the U.S., 0.59 of a seat for Canada, and 0.08 of a seat for the Caribbean.  Personally, I wouldn’t like to be divided into .33, so I proposed three seats for the U.S., two for Canada, and one for the Caribbean, which should give the Caribbean and Canada little cause for complaint.
