Meet the Candidates in ARIN’s Election 

Each fall, representatives from ARIN’s General Members in Good Standing elect candidates to the Board of Trustees and Advisory Council. This year, we are also holding an election for the Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC). 

Today, ARIN Election candidates speak directly to the ARIN community via speeches as well as a moderated Candidate Forum. Find out which candidates align best with the issues that are important to you or your organization before the voting period opens this afternoon. 

Visit our Election HQ at https://arin-elections.net to read candidate bios and view or submit Statements of Support. If you’re a General Member, we encourage you to join our General Member mailing list to talk directly with the candidates running this year.

How to Attend the Meeting 

Each morning during the meeting, you’ll receive a reminder email with information about that day’s session. If you’re a virtual attendee, that email will have the link you need to access the Zoom meeting. 

Virtual attendees will be allowed into the Zoom 15 minutes before the meeting starts so you can say hello and chat with other attendees. If you’re on location in Hollywood, just take a seat before the meeting begins. 

**Note: In-Person Attendees Not Staying at the Hotel**: The Ray Dolby Ballroom is on the fifth floor of the Ovation Center, located at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue. Guests may park in the public parking structure within the Ovation Center and access it directly using the Ovation Center elevators. Guests who prefer to enter through the hotel lobby should take the elevator to the mezzanine level, then walk across the mezzanine foyer to the third floor of the Ovation Center, where you may then take either the elevators or the escalators up to level five. This path will not require a hotel guest room key.
