[ARIN-consult] Reminder: Consultation on Increasing the size of the ARIN Board of Trustees

[Jason Schiller]

I would support adding additional seats for the purpose of increasing
diversity if
such seats had some sore of restriction...

For example each of the three new seats will be scoped as follows:
1 seat will only have nominations from Caribbean region community.
1 seat will only have nominations from individuals identifying as a women
1 seat will be designated as a "new comer" and will only have nominations
that have never served on the ARIN Board.

This proposal lacks any such restriction.
