Trustee members Paul Andersen and Paul Vixie, Advisory Council members

Chair.

the opening of the two Board seats held by Timothy Denton and Bill
Woodcock and the five Advisory Council seats held by Dan Alexander, Marc
Crandall, Bill Darte, David Farmer, and John Sweeting. ARIN Board and
Advisory Council incumbents may be re-elected for consecutive terms. Ron
da Silva’s seat for the NRO NC also becomes open this year. Please note:
