[arin-announce] Select the Questions for ARIN's Board of Trustees Candidate Forum in Austin

[ARIN]

As we prepare for ARIN Elections to get underway from 31 October through 
8 November, we are excited to host the first “Board of Trustees 
Candidate Forum”, which will be held from 2:30 – 3:00 PM on Thursday, 31 
October, during the ARIN 44 Public Policy and Members Meeting. During 
this forum, ARIN Board of Trustees candidates will have the opportunity 
to answer selected questions received from the community.

We accepted questions from the community from 30 September to 11 
October, and now we are interested in finding out which of these 
suggested questions are most interesting or important to you. You can 
rank the suggested questions anonymously using our online form before 
5:00 PM EDT on 18 October:

During the forum at ARIN 44, a moderator will select from the top-ranked 
questions and ask each candidate to answer the selected questions. Note 
that there will be no questions taken onsite from the audience.

It is our hope that this forum gives you, the voter, a better 
understanding of where each candidate falls on the issues that matter 
most to you. We believe this will help all of our voters make a more 
informed decision when it comes time to cast their ballots during the 
week of elections, which is such an important time for our community.

As a reminder, the Final Slate of Candidates was announced on 9 October. 
You may review all the candidate bios, their views on issues already 
covered in the candidate questionnaire and read or make statements of 
support at:

questions!
