I propose the following be used for AC:

Keep the 3 year terms in place and add
a 6 year contiguous term limit
a 3 year ineligibility year period after a term ends be it 3year or 6years
After 3 year ineligibility is over a person my run for a position on the 
AC again.

Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2014.7 upon receipt and 
confirmation. Your suggestion that ARIN institute a 6-year contiguous 
term limit followed by a 3-year ineligibility period for Advisory 
Council representatives has been forwarded to the ARIN Board of 
Trustees' Governance Committee as input to their deliberations regarding 
ARIN's governance.

This suggestion will remain open until such time that we have conclusion 
from the committee.

Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2014.7, regarding term limits 
for the ARIN Advisory Council. Your suggestion that ARIN institute a 
6-year contiguous term limit followed by a 3-year ineligibility period 
for Advisory Council representatives was forwarded to the ARIN Board of 
Trustees' Governance Committee (GovCom) as input to their deliberations 
regarding ARIN's governance.

This suggestion was discussed by the ARIN GovCom and Board at the April 
2014 meeting, as well as discussed at the ARIN 33 Member Meeting. While 
there was no official community consultation, there was substantial 
discussion on various ARIN mailing lists on this topic with no 
consensus. Given this input in its June 2014 report, the ARIN GovCom 
indicated that refinements to improve transparency and accountability 
were the thrust of its work in 2014, and that based on the input 
received it was not recommending any further changes at this time.

As such, we are closing this suggestion, and thank you for your 
participation in the ARIN Suggestion and Consultation Process.
