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 2011.

The Board of Trustees and Advisory Council election has a Nomination Committee (NomCom) 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: Board of Trustee members Paul Andersen and Paul Vixie, Advisory Council members Chris Grundemann and Chris Morrow, and general member volunteers Dmitry Kohmanyuk, Tina Morris, and John Kuhn. Paul Vixie is serving as NomCom Chair.

New Board and Advisory Council terms begin 1 January 2012. The two Board seats to be opening are held by Timothy Denton and Bill Woodcock. The five Advisory Council seats to be opening are currently held by: Dan Alexander, Marc Crandall, Bill Darte, David Farmer, and John Sweeting. ARIN Board and Advisory Council incumbents may be re-elected for consecutive terms.

Please note:

  1. You must be a Trustee or an ARIN General Member in good standing to make nominations. However, those nominated do not need to be ARIN members. Self-nominations from General Members in good standing are permitted. A petition process will be available to nonmembers seeking to nominate themselves.
  2. All nominees are subject to the Nomination and Appointment Conflict of Interest List at:
    https://www.arin.net/participate/elections/conflicts.html
  3. Nominations must be received by 17:00 ET on Wednesday, 24 August 2011. In accordance with ARIN’s Bylaws, each Trustee or General Member in good standing may make up to three nominations for each open seat.
