<P><FONT size=2>The company I work for is an ARIN member. I personaly would like to see an<BR>email sent to the lists before a vote is called with details of what the<BR>vote is about. I think this would be more usefull that having to check the<BR>website for upcoming information.<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: arin-discuss-bounces@arin.net [<A href="mailto:arin-discuss-bounces@arin.net">mailto:arin-discuss-bounces@arin.net</A>]<BR>On Behalf Of Paul Vixie<BR>Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 1:44 PM<BR>To: arin-discuss@arin.net<BR>Subject: Re: [arin-discuss] voting<BR><BR>today is an election day in my state, and so, the following caught my eye:<BR><BR>> I did not vote.
