At the risk of repeating myself.

I dont understand the logic that this rule can be implemented either as 
part of the PDP and/or as a hand wave of the AC, unless this rule is 
accomplished by preventing the AC members from uttering their statement 
of support. Were the rule to do that, we would be dealing with a 
different, but worse, situation.

You cant have your cake and eat it too.

Which mechanism is utilized by the AC to affect the petition evaluation 
process as defined in the PDP? Does the ARIN president lend special 
weight to the AC rules of who and how it is to be evaluated? The same AC 
that is being petitioned against?

I hope that a bit more than community input will be involved.
