[arin-discuss] ARIN Consultation: Changing the Voter Eligibility for ARIN Member Organizations

[Jim Dolan Jr]

Brent, is that not basically what the DMR role is, a designated rep of an org. I may be mistaken but a DMR can be changed at any point. 

Also as for the group of 10 to 15 percent of orgs that do not have a DMR that is a choice the respective org makes. They can set one up if they wanted to, just as they could set up a tech POC. 

I have voted in the past and I have not voted in other arin elections. Some years candidates or issues matter to me or my company, while in other years it does not. 

Long way of saying making more people able to vote does not increase participation. I am not in favor of this change. In fact one way to look at a 10 percent voting participation may be that 90 percent are content with how arin is, and do not feel the need to vote to change anything.
