Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Wed Apr 15 10:58:35 2015 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2015 07:58:35 -0700 Subject: [arin-announce] IRR Route Validation Consultation Extended to 24 April Message-ID: <552E7C9B.5060909@arin.net> ARIN has extended the discussion period for the community consultation about its Internet Routing Registry service. The new closing date is Friday, 24 April. ARIN is seeking feedback on the following questions: 1. Should ARIN begin a new project to enable IRR route object validation to the ARIN registry database? If this consultation results in support for moving forward in this area of work, it will be taken under advisement by the ARIN Board of Trustees for consideration as a new area of priority by the ARIN organization. If approved, ARIN staff would participate in community-driven initiatives in this area, and using information gathered from these initiatives and this consultation, produce a specific proposal to move forward. 2. If yes, should this effort be coordinated with other RIRs to help facilitate cross-registry authentication? 3. If yes, should this effort also support third party IRR route object authentication? View the full text of the consultation at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/community_consult/03-17-2015_irr.html We encourage community members to provide comments to arin-consult at arin.net regarding this topic.

Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Mon Apr 20 15:34:46 2015 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2015 15:34:46 -0400 Subject: [arin-announce] Community Consultation on Election-related Bylaws Changes Message-ID: <553554D6.9090500@arin.net> On 13 April 2015, the ARIN Board of Trustees proposed changes to the ARIN Bylaws. Per Article X. Section 6.b. of the Bylaws, these changes require community notification and consultation before they can be adopted. ARIN is opening this community consultation to obtain feedback on the following Bylaws changes. 1. Article VIII. Section 4.a. Voting. Current bylaws language: Voting. Each General Member of record and in good standing on such date that is sixty (60) days before a ballot or election shall be eligible to vote (through its designated member representative voting contact) in such ballot or election? Proposed bylaws language change: Voting. Each General Member of record and in good standing on such date that is forty-five (45) days before a ballot or election shall be eligible to vote (through its voting contact) in such ballot or election? Rationale: a. Replacing the term ?designated member representative? with ?voting contact? throughout the Bylaws and in election-related documentation more clearly describes the function of this type of contact. b. ARIN suggests shortening the time between elections and the voter eligibility cutoff deadline in order to provide member organizations more time to update their voting contact information. 2. Article VIII. Section 4. b. Election Period. Current bylaws language: Election Period. The Election Period shall begin during the final Public Policy and Members Meeting of the year for general elections and as established by the President for other votes. The membership shall receive electronic notice at least 30 days in advance of the election and will have ten (10) calendar days after the Election Period opens to electronically cast their votes, provided that any such electronic transmission shall either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the member. Votes received by ARIN after the close of the Election Period shall not be counted. Change To: Election Period. The Election Period shall begin during the final Public Policy and Members Meeting of the year for general elections and as established by the President for other votes. The membership shall receive electronic notice at least 30 days in advance of the election and will have at least seven (7) calendar days after the Election Period opens to electronically cast their votes, provided that any such electronic transmission shall either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the member. Votes received by ARIN after the close of the Election Period shall not be counted. Rationale: Under the current meeting and election schedule the elections open on a Thursday and close on a Sunday. The change to at least 7 business days would mean election still open on Thursday, but could close the following Friday. Each year we receive the majority of votes the final Friday and very few the following Saturday and Sunday. Staff feels that being able to say voting closes today when making the last calls may have a positive impact on getting last minute voters to cast a ballot. Please provide comments to arin-consult at arin.net. You can subscribe to this mailing list at: http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-consult. This notification and consultation period will close at 5 PM EDT, 20 May 2015. Please contact us at info at arin.net if you have any questions.
