Dan,

If you mean an example of the AC hijacking a proposal to achieve an
end radically different than the one envisioned by the original
author, you're right. The original didn't address inter-region
transfers at all and certainly wasn't concerned with balancing
cross-rir fairness issues.

I don't mean to be harsh about it but Mike's ideas for transfers have
independent merit from the issues raised in 2011-1. Conflating them
serves to prevent both sets of issues from getting a fair hearing.

I've seen too many proposals die at the AC without a fair hearing by
the wider community. Too many more have gotten a hatchet job, like
prop 151. Give me reason to believe another proposal will not only
make it to a PPM, but make it reasonably intact. Do that and a
proposal you shall have.

Love to. Make it possible.
