[arin-announce] Voting for the 2016 ARIN Elections is Now Open

[ARIN]

The polls are now open for the 2016 ARIN Elections to fill two seats on 
the ARIN Board of Trustees, six seats on the ARIN Advisory Council, and 
one seat on the Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC).

Eligible Voting Contacts from General Members in Good Standing may vote 
now through 3:00 PM EDT, 28 October.

To vote, simply log in to ARIN Online and look for the "Vote Now" 
message on your dashboard.

As previously announced, ARIN is improving the security of its voting 
system and will no longer use email web links for casting ballots. This 
year, all eligible voters must log in to ARIN Online to access their 
organization's ballot.

To view candidate biographies, please view the ARIN Elections 2016 Voter 
Guide at:

To view or make Statements of Support, please visit:

Anyone, regardless of voter status, is eligible to submit a Statement of 
Support for a candidate. Voting contacts should be aware that an ARIN 
representative will be personally calling them during the week of 24 
October as a gentle reminder to vote and to answer any election-related 
questions they may have.

Participation in the election process is crucial, requires only minutes 
of a voter's time, and is an important responsibility. It's the one 
member-only benefit that gives organizations the power to shape the 
future of ARIN, our community, and the Internet with one simple ballot!

For questions about voting, or if you encounter an issue with the 
election system, you may either contact a member of the Member Services 
team at members at arin.net or ask a question via ARIN Online and direct it 
to Meetings/Elections.
