Should I repost the list of questions I've sent through the AC list (without
answer) to NANOG Kim?

That's up to you and the rest of the AC, it's their mailing list.

Actually, no, its not up to the AC.

My questions are mine, and nobody other than myself controls the distribution
of same.

I will, however, do them the <courtesy> of asking if they believe it is
appropriate to request input not just from the membership, but also from
NANOG, and whether or not anyone objects to my posting my question and
reform-of-bylaw proposals to NANOG.

Comments, AC members (yes, in public, please reply to both lists)?

I have no problems with any proposals for ARIN being discussed in public
on other mailing lists. In fact I prefer a wide range of input to ARIN
policymaking which is why I frequently discuss ARIN related stuff on other
lists even though most of the list members are non-members of ARIN.

The more minds we have looking at a policy proposal, the less likely it is
for one person to bully the AC into recommending flawed policies.
