[arin-ppml] Advisory Council Meeting Results - May 2010

[Bill Darte]

Fantastic!  Anyone else wishing to step up is welcome.  Don't even need a sponsor...self nomination is acceptable!
There is lots of work to be done and lots of bright people out there!  We had a good slate last election, but we can always use more.
And, anyone out there who can help get more people involved and voting....well that's what we need.

Actually I have already asked Bill H. that question and he assures me that if he is nominated he will accept.

Proposal 112 was widely discussed both on PPML and by the somewhat
different crowd that shows up at the meeting and we expressed a
consensus that it should be abandoned?

The policy process participants who don't camp PPML even know that
proposal 112 existed?

Fostering public participation means that you do everything within
reason to help any member of the public who makes the effort to step
up move their proposal forward in the process, even when it's obvious
at the outset that it will ultimately fail. It's not about supporting
the proposal, it's about supporting the author. Supporting proposal
authors encourages and includes them in the process, and helps train
them to do better with their next attempt. If you're not spending the
majority of your time on the AC engaged in exactly that activity then
you're doing something wrong. And in the unlikely event that bad
policy sneaks past wide consensus there are remaining stops in the
process where the AC can pass any needed judgment.

The sitting AC has some smart and diligent people, but it has done a
truly shameful job when it comes to fostering public participation.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
