The message provided below was posted to ARIN's Announce Mailing
List and posted to the front page of the ARIN web site on
October 11, 2002.  The message extended the nomination period
for the upcoming ARIN Board of Trustees Election.  The extension
expired on October 15, 2002, without producing additional
nominations.

Due to the low number of nominations received for the ARIN Board of
Trustees, the ARIN 2002 Nomination Committee has again decided to
extend the nominations period. Effective today, the nominations period
for the ARIN Board of Trustees has been reopened. Nominations will be
accepted until 23:59 EDT October 21, 2002.

The Nomination Committee restates the importance of ARIN Member
participation in the nominations process.  ARIN Members may submit
nominations at the following URL, or as otherwise described below.

BOARD OF TRUSTEE NOMINATIONS

ARIN's Board of Trustees is responsible for the business affairs,
financial health, and property of ARIN. Board nominees should be able to

demonstrate experience in performing fiduciary duties at the corporate
level and making high-level budgetary, contractual, or other
corporate/executive decisions. Board nominees should be available to
attend several board meetings a year.

There are three ways to become a candidate for a seat on the Board of
Trustees:

  1. Be nominated by an ARIN member. Nominees do not have to be ARIN
     members.
  2. If you are an ARIN member, you may self-nominate.
  3. Nomination by petition as described below.

  Nominations for the Board may be made without the Nomination
  Committee's participation by presenting a petition signed by
  5% of the total ARIN membership. Current ARIN membership
  totals 1,840; therefore ninety two (92) members will be required
  to send statements of support to elections at arin.net in order for
  the petitioning candidate to be nominated

Per the ARIN Bylaws, a Nomination Committee has been formed to aid
in the Board of Trustees election process. The seven-member 2002
Nomination Committee members are:

  Board Representatives: Scott Bradner, Bill Manning
  Advisory Council Representatives: Bill Darte, Barbara Roseman
  General Members Representatives: Daniel Salama, IFX Corporation;
          Miguel Fernandez, Prima SA; Kris Foster, Telus

The Nomination Committee is responsible for identifying and recruiting
nominees, in addition to certifying a properly selected list of
candidates for the Board of Trustees. The Nomination Committee is
required to send at least two (2) candidates per open seat to the
general membership for a vote.
