I’m pleased to be serving on the Nomination Committee (NomCom) for ARIN this year, helping identify the slate of candidates for the Board of Trustees and the Advisory Council elections. From the call for nominations:
ARIN is issuing an open call for General Members in good standing to nominate candidates for two (2) seats on the Board of Trustees, five (5) seats on the Advisory Council, and one (1) seat on the Number Resource Organization (NRO) Number Council that become open when current terms expire on 31 December 2010.
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 Scott Bradner, Advisory Council members Heather Schiller and Bill Sandiford, and general member volunteers Bill Manning, Justin Clutter, and Benson Schliesser. Paul Andersen is serving as NomCom Chair.
New Board, Advisory Council, and NRO NC terms begin 1 January 2011. The two Board seats opening are held by Paul Vixie and Lee Howard. The five Advisory Council seats opening are currently held by: Cathy Aronson, Marla Azinger, Owen DeLong, Scott Leibrand, and Tom Zeller. ARIN Board and Advisory Council incumbents may be re-elected for consecutive terms. Jason Schiller’s seat for the NRO NC also became open this year. Please note that the NRO Number Council representatives now fulfill the role of ICANN’s ASO Address Council.
Nominations close on Monday 9 August at 17:00 (EDT, I believe) so act quickly if interested. For more information, please see https://www.arin.net/app/election/.
