[arin-ppml] Petition draft 2011-1 last call

[Bill Darte]

Bill,

My error in stating community rather than the specific voting community.
You may call it a lie if you choose.

My point is that we work hard in the role that we have to respond to the needs of the community and to craft policy..in a timely fashion...which the community wants.  As such, we reshaped the 2011-1 language to respond to what we heard in Philly and in San Juan before.

The result is what is offered to last call and has been supported and challenged.

Bill,

That's a lie, is it not? I believe you when you say you try to do your
best for the entire community. Were the entire community eligible to
vote, they might well have elected you. But they weren't and aren't
eligible to vote.

In fact, the eligibility to vote in the election which put you on the
advisory council was restricted to "ARIN members," a tiny fraction of
the number-resource using community in the ARIN region consisting
almost but not quite exclusively of ISPs. Nor can you claim to be a
second-level representative, elected by people who were elected by the
community at large.

So, let's dispose of this notion that any member of the AC has a
representative mandate which arises from his or her election by "the
community." Your mandate comes top down from the Board of Trustees,
their direction to the AC to develop number policy for the
organization. To what has, since the demise of the IRPEP, become a
progressively more secondary consideration, it also comes bottom up
from the vocal support or opposition offered on specific text.

At least, it bubbles up when that text is actually presented to the
whole community instead of just the portion which haunts PPML. Which
draft 2011-1, having never seen a public meeting in anything close to
its current form, has not.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
