proposal. but ...
The NRO NC election process a similar requirement.

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. ]
