Bill - 
 
  The Advisory Council is elected for the purpose of developing 
  sound Internet number resource policy.  That's their actual 
  purpose in the policy development process, and while that does
  generally have them nurturing policy proposals to a fruitful 
  result, it can also at times require that proposals be edited, 
  merged, or dropped from further consideration.  Their role 
  holding the editors pen in the policy process has definitely 
  improved the quality of the number resource policy in the region.

  The Policy Development process contains a protective mechanism
  in the form of a petition process which allows 10 people to stay 
  a final action of the Advisory Council with respect a policy 
  proposal or draft policy. Given that each policy proposal is 
  posted to PPML, obtaining an expression of support from just 
  10 folks is a rather low threshold for any policy proposal that
  the community thinks merits further consideration than provided
  by the Advisory Council.

  As you are aware, we're about to release a new proposed PDP for 
  community comment.  Some of the changes therein are the direct 
  result of input from you on this list, but I'd also welcome any 
  and all further suggestions for improvement to the policy 
  development process.  

  While many policy proposals go relatively unchanged to the public 
  policy meeting as draft policies, the Advisory Council developing
  a set of draft policies for PPM discussion is necessary if we are 
  to have sufficient time for adequate discussion by the community.
  If somehow the 15 elected AC members seem to get this task wrong, 
  it takes but 10 people in the community to get your proposal to 
  PPM discussion and reasonably intact in the process.

Thanks,
