A compilation of candidate biographies and questionnaire responses is available at:
https://www.arin.net/participate/oversight/elections/candidate_bios.pdf 

Each candidate for the Board of Trustees and Advisory Council, listed above, has a classification next to their name. The candidates were classified by an independent third-party vendor firm based on the Nominee Classification Process in the NomCom Charter. Every nominee is put forward on the initial slate unless the third-party vendor firm classifies a nominee as “Unable to Qualify.” No nominees were classified as “Unable to Qualify” this year. Fourteen nominations were received for the Advisory Council and twelve were received for the Board; all are present on the Final Slate of Candidates except for two Board nominees who withdrew their candidacies.

You are encouraged to submit and view Statements of Support for the candidates at: https://www.arin-elections.net/ . Please note that all Statements of Support are automatically held for moderation and will be posted, upon approval, within one business day. All submissions are subject to the Statements of Support Acceptable Use Policy .

All candidates for the Board and Advisory Council will be offered the ability to subscribe to the General Members Mailing List to answer questions from the voting community. If your organization is a General Member at ARIN and plans to vote this year, we encourage you to join the mailing list to stay up to date on ARIN Election activity. Candidates have also been offered the opportunity to present themselves to the general membership in a brief, pre-recorded speech during ARIN 52, and those speeches will be made available online during the voting period.

Petitions

As only nominees who were not added to the Initial Slate of Candidates may submit a petition, this constitutes both the Initial and Final Slate.

We hope you will join us in offering congratulations and wishing good luck to this year’s candidates. ARIN acknowledges and appreciates the time and commitment that these candidates are willing to make toward ensuring the vitality and growth of ARIN, the community, and the Internet. ARIN also extends thanks and appreciation to the members of the NomCom for their hard work in recruiting nominees.
