Those are excellent points. Note that ARIN doesn't have the NRO
elections (which meeting attendees can vote in) overlap with the BoT
and AC elections (which only members can vote in). There's a method
to the madness here - it keeps confusion down. I'm in favor of having
the election not happen during a meeting, period, since that will
underscore the fact that eligibility is not limited to those
physically present. Longer voting windows = good.
True, true. I'm not sure that length matters, unless it's in summer
or Hollywood. I do think ease of voting can be problematic.
