ARIN Trustees and representatives from General Members in Good Standing 
(GMIGs) are asked to, please nominate candidates for seats on the ARIN

themselves, a representative from an ARIN Member organization, or from

Any individual, regardless of ARIN Member affiliation, may self-nominate 
or nominate one or more candidates to fill one seat on the NRO Number 
Council. Nominees for the NRO Number Council must reside within the ARIN 
region. This year the ARIN Board of Trustees will appoint and announce 
the representative prior to the ARIN Elections opening on Thursday, 22 
October. An incumbent may be reappointed for a consecutive term.
