ARIN is issuing an open call for General Members in good standing to nominate candidates for two (2) seats on the Board of Trustees and five (5) seats on the Advisory Council that become open when current terms expire on 31 December 2007.

The Board of Trustees election has a Nomination Committee that is responsible for identifying, recruiting, and certifying a properly selected slate of candidates to be placed in nomination before the membership for election. This year’s NomCom members are: Scott Bradner (Chair), Bill Woodcock, Cathy Aronson, Rob Seastrom, Charles Gucker, Tine Hutchison, Jason Malacko.

New Board and Advisory Council terms are for three years and begin 1 January 2008. The Board seats opening are those currently held by Bill Manning and Paul Vixie. The Advisory Council seats opening are currently held by: Paul Andersen, Cathy Aronson, Marla Azinger, Ron da Silva, and Alex Rubenstein. Individuals may be re-elected for consecutive terms.

Please note:
