If memory serves, this show of hands took place in the ARIN Public Policy
meeting, *NOT* in the member meeting.  ARIN Public Policy meetings are
intended to be open to the broader community -- they are not members-only
affairs.  See the announcement for the forthcoming ARIN VI meeting at
http://www.arin.net/announcements/memmeet.html:
