[ARIN]

ARIN is issuing a last call for General Members in good standing to 
nominate candidates for two (2) seats on the Board of Trustees, five (5) 
seats on the Advisory Council, and one (1) seat on the Number Resource 
Organization (NRO) Number Council that become open when current terms 
expire on 31 December 2011. 



The Board of Trustees and Advisory Council election has a Nomination 
Committee (NomCom) that is responsible for identifying, recruiting, and 
certifying the slate of candidates to be placed in nomination before the 
membership for election. This year's NomCom members are: Board of 
Trustee members Paul Andersen and Paul Vixie, Advisory Council members 
Chris Grundemann and Chris Morrow, and general member volunteers Dmitry 
Kohmanyuk, John Kuhn, and Tina Morris. Paul Vixie is serving as NomCom 
Chair. 


New Board, Advisory Council, and NRO NC terms begin 1 January 2012 with 
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.
