Honestly, it would have never occurred to me such an uncouth thing would happen. A policy is too far at this point as it appears to be somewhat of a corner case. Perhaps it would be more appropriate as a written guideline for future candidates. I recall there being a process description of the nomination process which mentions a brief speech or video. That may be the appropriate place to include a broad mention of what is/isn’t appropriate. Perhaps the "Owen Amendment" ;)<div><br></div><div>Jesse<br><div><div><br></div><div>On Jun 5, 2014, at 12:26 AM, Owen DeLong <<a href="mailto:owen@delong.com">owen@delong.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><br>On Jun 4, 2014, at 5:18 PM, John Curran <<a href="mailto:jcurran@arin.net">jcurran@arin.net</a>> wrote:<br><br><blockquote type="cite">On Jun 4, 2014, at 8:04 PM, Owen DeLong <<a href="mailto:owen@delong.com">owen@delong.com</a>> wrote:<br><br><blockquote type="cite">I oppose the implementation of this suggestion.<br><br>No rule prohibiting what Paul and I did existed prior to our doing it.
