Hi Jas,
Great discussion you have started, possibly one that is long overdue.
In regards to voting though, I am pretty certain (can't find the info on APNIC website to confirm) that the extra votes for Large, Extra Large members etc. only come into play for things like elections of EC members.
When it comes to voting on policy changes, every member gets one vote, so you can definitely make a change.
A helpful APNIC staff member may want to confirm/deny this though:)
Cheers,
Tim.
