[arin-ppml] AC Candidates (Chris Tacit)

[Heather Schiller]

The process <https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/pdp/> is
thoroughly documented.  The bulk of discussion is on the mailing list, a
public place open to contribution.  The AC shepherds policies through the
process, cleaning up and refining them along the way. They look out that
policies are technically sound, fair and impartial.  The *community* speaks
in favor or against a policy on the mailing list and the AC deliberates
whether there is support for the proposal.  As an author, you can and
should seek out statements of support on the mailing list.  If all the
feedback about a proposal is against it, cut it loose.  Nothing is lost,
you can always re-evaluate, modify and try again.  There is no prejudice.
It's not a trial, double jeopardy doesn't apply.
