[arin-discuss] Proxy support

This is my interpretation and mine alone, not a message from the AC,
ARIN, etc.

I don't believe proxies are allowed, but, to express your support or
non-support for a proposal it can be as simple as sending a message
to the ARIN list, which, can even be as simple as saying "+1" to what
the person you were considering as a proxy said.

The Advisory council, when evaluating policy, is tasked with, among
other factors (technically sound, etc.) evaluating the level of  
community
consensus.  This is a simple term with a very complex meaning, and,
we do the best we can to incorporate as much input as is available
to us in that evaluation.  The show of hands in the room is just one
of the tools we use. Comments on the mailing list do carry quite a
bit of weight as well, especially when they clearly state "I support"
or "I do not support" this proposal.

Hope that helps.
