Bill - 

  I indicated to the Board that the 2011-1 rewrite "may go beyond the 
  scope of what many in the community expected of ‘last call revisions’"
  This was not an indication of degrees of support by the community or 
  of non-support, but a statement regarding potential concerns about 
  the process that was followed. I further noted that the "resulting 
  (draft policy) does not appear different in function and the rewrite 
  was allowable per the PDP"

  You did an excellent job expressing your concerns today about the draft 
  policy (resources going outside the ARIN region according to number 
  policy not developed by the ARIN community & lack of a requirement for 
  reciprocal transfer policies.)  If there are other concerns about the
  draft policy, it would be good to get them posted to PPML.  I do not
  know if either of the concerns you noted were considered by the ARIN AC 
  or were somehow introduced as a result of the last call revisions, but
  I expect that the Board will want to know that substantially any material 
  concerns raised by the community have been considered by the ARIN AC in 
  their recommendation for adoption.

FYI,
