[arin-announce] There's Still Time to Nominate: ARIN Board, AC, and NRO NC

[ARIN]

General Members in good standing are invited to nominate candidates for 
two (2) seats on the Board of Trustees (Board), five (5) seats on the 
Advisory Council (AC), and one (1) seat on the Number Resource 
Organization (NRO) Number Council that become open when current terms 
expire on 31 December 2012.

The Board of Trustees and Advisory Council elections have a Nomination 
Committee (NomCom) that is responsible for identifying, recruiting, and 
certifying a properly selected slate of candidates to be placed in 
nomination before the membership for election. This year's NomCom 
members are: Board of Trustee members Timothy Denton and Scott Bradner, 
Advisory Council members Chris Grundemann and Kevin Blumberg, and 
general member volunteers Stephen Middleton, Justin Clutter, and Peter 
Rocca. Timothy Denton is serving as NomCom Chair.

New Board and Advisory Council terms begin 1 January 2013. Board members 
Paul Andersen and Scott Bradner, and Advisory Council representatives 
Stacy Hughes, Chris Morrow, Bill Sandiford, Robert Seastrom, and Heather 
Schiller will conclude their current terms on 31 December 2012. Louie 
Lee's seat for the NRO NC also becomes open this year. Incumbents may be 
re-elected for consecutive terms.
