Hi Leif,

Not only can I do so, when I voted I did.  I regret only that because
I procrastinated until the last minute, many of my colleagues will
have already voted without considering this vector.

As I previously stated, I think the notion that AC members are mere
shepherds is a farce. The AC is the body that writes and develops
policy for ARIN. It hasn't been driven by the general public, with the
AC merely operating as shepherds, for many years now.

I believe that prior interaction with each segment of the community,
outside of their duties as AC, should be a hard requirement for rating
a candidate as "qualified" during the elections process.
Quantitatively? Start with something simple: one policy-related post
to PPML while not an AC member and you have to speak at the mike at
least once at an ARIN meeting. Else you're rated "qualifications not
demonstrated."

Surely that's not too much to ask of folks who would serve on the AC?
