[arin-ppml] Polling on draft policies

[Scott Leibrand]

The ARIN Advisory Council discussed the topic of polling at our meeting 
on Wednesday.  While we didn't make a motion or resolution on the 
subject, it looks like we're mostly leaning toward polling the 
subscribers PPML on draft policy 2009-1 after the San Antonio public 
policy meeting, if we still think it is appropriate after the meeting. 
This would allow everyone to express a well-informed opinion after they have
watched/heard/read the deliberative discussion there.  It will also 
allow us to coordinate the questions asked in the poll with those asked
at the meeting.

In addition, the AC we will also be discussing, in an AC workshop at San 
Antonio, the more general question of how to do regular recurring
polling of PPML subscribers, so that we can put something in place for 
the next policy cycle.

It is also worth noting that everyone on the PPML is invited to 
participate, in person or remotely, in the San Antonio public policy
meeting.  If you can't make it in person, the entire meeting is webcast, 
and remote participants can now participate in real time, asking
questions, making comments, and voting on the questions put before the 
community at the meeting.  ARIN has already sent out a note about how to 
register as a remote participant, and I would encourage everyone to take 
advantage of that opportunity.
