As a member of ARIN lurking from a small corner of the Internet,
I'd like to remind other members that they should make sure they're
registered to vote and encourage them to participate in any upcoming
elections (mid-late October?).

Also, members should look at simulcast info before the Albuquerque
meeting if they can't attend.

Team ARIN!  Help us!  Cili Rool is sending in the lawyers!

Would a legal defense fund be a good place to stash that extra
IPV4 renewal money?  ;^)
