[arin-discuss] voting

[Paul Vixie]

today is an election day in my state, and so, the following caught my eye:

> I did not vote. Ergo. I abstained.
> All those like me also abstained.

i wish that you would vote, and that all others like you would vote.  not
just in today's election (if your state is having one), and in the next
ARIN election, but in all elections where you are eligible.

is there any way ARIN can augment or restructure the election process to give
you more information about the candidates and issues, and lower the apparent
bar to your informed participation?
