+1 (binding)
Despite my earlier misgivings, I think this will be a valuable addition
to the specification.
To clarify I've interpreted this as a vote on both Utf8View and
BinaryView as in the linked PR.

Hello,
I'd like to propose adding Utf8View arrays to the arrow format.
Previous discussion in [1], columnar format description in [2],
flatbuffers changes in [3].
There are implementations available in both C++[4] and Go[5] which
exercise the new type over IPC. Utf8View format demonstrates[6]
significant performance benefits over Utf8 in common tasks.
The vote will be open for at least 72 hours.
[ ] +1 add the proposed Utf8View type to the Apache Arrow format
[ ] -1 do not add the proposed Utf8View type to the Apache Arrow format
because...
Sincerely,
