From info at arin.net Thu Jun 1 11:21:58 2017 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 11:21:58 -0400 Subject: [arin-announce] Reminder: Consultation on Increasing the size of the ARIN Board of Trustees Message-ID: <0e7d2ab6-b1bb-b894-5cd0-3800a9bc1769@arin.net> As announced on 11 May 2017, after receiving community feedback during the ARIN 37 meeting in Jamaica regarding the need for more background diversity on the ARIN Board of Trustees, the ARIN Bylaws were changed to allow for the appointment of an eighth voting Board member for a 1-year term, and this option was used after the 2016 ARIN Election. At their meeting on 8 May 2017, the ARIN Board discussed and agreed to propose for community consultation an additional change to expand the number of elected Board members from six to nine, as this will increase opportunities for diversity in the background of Board members. While this change would require an update to the Bylaws, the update would not affect the member-protected portion of the Bylaws. However, the ARIN Board of Trustees determined it would be best to consult with the community for their input prior to the adoption of this proposed change of expanding the Board. We are conducting this community consultation to obtain feedback on this proposed change to the size of the ARIN Board of Trustees. This consultation period will close at 5 PM EDT, 12 June 2017. Board proposal: ARIN will add three more elected voting seats to the Board of Trustees, raising the current six (elected two per year) to nine (elected three per year). * There would be no change to the appointed voting seat (it would remain available for appointment as deemed desirable by the Board) * There would be no change to the non-elected voting seat (held by the President/CEO) * New Board seats are to be added to the Board in a phased manner ? one per year in the 2017 thru 2019 elections * October 2017: 3 Board members will be elected for 2018; 8 Trustee board (9 if appointed seat is used) * October 2018: 3 Board members will be elected for 2019; Trustee board (10 if appointed seat is used) * October 2019: 3 Board members will be elected for 2020; 10 Trustee board (11 if appointed seat is used) Please provide comments to arin-consult at arin.net.

Lastly, remember to update or establish your Voting Contact by 20 August! To learn more about Voting Contacts, visit https://www.arin.net/about_us/membership/votingcontacts.html *Featured Service/Policy Requirements* POC Validation Requirements ? Per ARIN policy (NRPM 3.6), an email is sent annually to every POC registered in ARIN?s Whois that has not been updated in the past 12 months, asking you to validate that your POC registration information is still correct. This POC validation policy improves the quality of the Whois data and helps to ensure that your contact information stays up to date. It also helps to protect you from resource hijacking and the potential loss of control of not only your resources, but also your Org ID and POC records. For a more in-depth look at the POC validation process, visit https://www.arin.net/resources/request/poc.html#validation and check out our video on the process at https://youtu.be/peGUuhmrC6I. *Managing Your Resources in ARIN Online ? Tools and Tricks* 1. Want to attach a file to your Ask ARIN ticket? Remember to select 'DONE' after uploading the document. You also need to provide a comment before selecting 'SUBMIT.' 2. Need to submit a transfer because you acquired IPv4 addresses from an auction, brokerage service, or a resource holding organization? Make sure to answer 'No' in the transfer form when asked if the transfer is due to a Merger, Acquisition, or Reorganization. Only organizations that have acquired the assets (such as customer and/or equipment) from another organization should answer 'Yes.' *Billing and Payment ? Tools and Tricks* 1. It is up to you, the customer, to keep the billing contact information up-to-date on your account! Use either email (billing at arin.net) or ARIN Online to edit the billing information. Is the company name on your invoice correct? If the company name has changed, you can request to update the registration using either a Name Change or Network Transfer function of ARIN Online. 2. Do you know ARIN offers Automated Clearing House (ACH) as a payment option? Customers with a U.S. bank may initiate an ACH payment transaction to ARIN at any time, and receipt of your payment to ARIN is very quick, usually within two business days. To request ARIN?s ACH payment instructions, email the Financial Services Department at billing at arin.net. ARIN accepts payment in U.S. Dollars (USD). *Helpful IPv6 Links* -Dedicated IPv4 block to facilitate IPv6 Deployment - https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#four10 - under this policy, ARIN set aside a contiguous /10 IPv4 block for allocations and assignments justified by immediate IPv6 deployment requirements.
