[arin-ppml] AC Candidates

[Michael Abejuela]

Hello PPML participants,

I have observed that the PPML discussions have become increasingly focused on election related items.  As this is the forum for policy discussions, and the fact that we are in the middle of an election cycle, I would ask that the participants provide their election-related suggestions through the more appropriate avenues stated below.  There are a variety of considerations that are being discussed, and in order to make sure they are properly catalogued and taken into due consideration for future election cycles, we have various avenues to provide such feedback that are more appropriate than PPML:

1)	The General Members Mailing list;
2)	Through the ARIN ACSP intake; and
3)	Directly to elections at arin.net

ARIN may also seek community input after the elections are completed for feedback and suggestions on future election cycles; and given that there is so much discussion on this topic, that will definitely be taken into consideration.

Thank you for the robust discussions and participation,
-Michael

It might not be best to go from zero to hard requirement.


In other words, _if_ this is being added as a thing that the NomCom 
should care about, I recommend starting with this being one of the 
factors that differentiates "Qualified" and "Well Qualified". If that 
works out and _if_ the desire is there to make it a hard requirement, 
that can be done a year or two later.


I'm not currently expressing a position on whether this should be a 
factor to consider. I haven't given it enough thought.
