[arin-announce] ARIN Board Adopts Bylaws Changes

[ARIN]

The ARIN Board of Trustees adopted two Bylaws changes at its meeting on 
23 April 2012. These changes include:

* Allowing a non-candidate Board member to confirm the President's 
certification of the list of eligible voters. This non-candidate Board 
member shall be selected by the Board. Previously only the Secretary 
could confirm the President's review.

* Petition signatures can now only be submitted by "eligible voters", 
which was changed from "General Members in good standing".  This change 
makes the eligibility for signing petitions in sync with the eligibility 
for voting in the general elections, that only voters (and now petition 
signers) "of record on January 1st shall be eligible".
