If new unknown folk is a choice of the community, it is fine and I don't see any problem.
However, the problem I'm trying to fix is someone can manipulate the community's view
by inviting several persons who never and will not involve the community discussion after the election.
(I'm always expecting new and fresh blood to Policy SIG Chair)

Matt

hi:

this kludge is not very well thought out.

not that i am advocating, but an ietfish approach would be a requirement
to have attended n previous meetings.  makes more sense to me than this
proposal.  but ...

personally, i am not sure there is a real problem.  so what if the old
guard gets thrown out and some new unknown folk get elected.  it might
be a breath of fresh air.  what actual damage could some fresh blood do?
some radical change in apnic across the board just might benefit the
internet.

[ historical note: this descends from the first taipei meeting, where
  there were no voting restrictions.  a bunch of folk showed up just for
  the ec election and voted in an outsider, shock and horror!  of
  course, all sorts of rules and restrictions to protect the old guard
  were immediately put in place. ]
