Please do take care not to conflate running for the Board of Trustees - which is 
very specifically geared toward the overall governance of ARIN as an organization,
with running for the Advisory Council - which is very limited to policy shepherding
for the community with regard to the NRPM.

You've got my full support to run for the AC.   I'd love for you to get embedded
and use that passion you have for the community from the inside.
