[arin-discuss] [info at arin.net: ACSP Suggestion 2007.15]

[Alexander, Daniel]

Earlier this year, the AC and ARIN staff worked to put a polling
mechanism in place to collect opinion from the ppml. I think this is a
great example of how that could be put to use. I would like to request
that ARIN staff post a polling question to the ppml for their opinion on
the suggestion to support CIDR queries in WHOIS. I think this would
provide more tangible feedback rather than everyone hitting reply. It
would also provide a clearer picture when trying to gauge priorities and
resources.

Thanks,
Dan

would be great if there was another way for the community to express its
opinion without lots of people sending "me too" emails to a list.

This seems like something like this would be a good candidate for the
consultation process.  However the problem I see with the consultation
process is that for people to participate they must join the consult
mail list to be part of the straw poll.  It would seem to me that if
your email is registered with arin-discuss then you should be able to
participate in the straw poll.  I know there were probably reasons for
limiting the straw-poll to the consult mailing list but that seems a bit
restrictive at this moment.
