[ARIN]

Per the recent announcement about ARIN 46 being held virtually this 
October, some changes are required to the 2020 ARIN Election timeline to 
accommodate the revised meeting schedule and fulfill the goals of 
providing a fair and open process.

The revised timeline is available at:
https://www.arin.net/participate/oversight/elections/#election-process-calendar

Most changes are only minor shifts from the schedule as originally 
approved by the Board of Trustees; highlights include:

- Initial Slate of Candidates will be announced and Call for Petitions 
will open on Wednesday, 9 September.
- Final Slate of Candidates will be announced on Sunday, 4 October.
- Elections Open for Board of Trustees and Advisory Council on Friday, 
23 October

These changes have been made in accordance to ARIN’s Elections Processes 
(and in compliance with ARIN’s Bylaws and applicable law) in order to 
accommodate the revised schedule for the ARIN 46 virtual meeting.
