 From a policy development perspective the AC's role has not changed 
significantly in more than a decade.  The AC's official role is still 
being policy shepherds.

When an AC member submits a policy proposal they do it as a member of 
the community not in their capacity as AC members.

I realize that might be a distinction with out a difference, but I 
wanted to point it out.

Should we disallow an AC member from submitting a policy proposal?
