<p class="MsoNormal">ARIN is issuing an open call for General
Members in good standing to nominate candidates for two (2) seats
on the Board of Trustees and five (5) seats on the Advisory
Council that become open when current terms expire on 31 December
2011. <br>
<br>
The Board of Trustees and Advisory Council election has a
Nomination Committee (NomCom) that is responsible for identifying,
recruiting, and certifying a properly selected slate of candidates
to be placed in nomination before the membership for election.
This year's NomCom members are: Board of Trustee members Paul
Andersen and Paul Vixie, Advisory Council members Chris Grundemann
and Chris Morrow, and general member volunteers Dmitry Kohmanyuk,
Tina Morris, and John Kuhn. Paul Vixie is serving as NomCom Chair.
<br>
<br>
New Board and Advisory Council terms begin 1 January 2012. The two
Board seats to be opening are held by Timothy Denton and Bill
Woodcock. The five Advisory Council seats to be opening are
currently held by: Dan Alexander, Marc Crandall, Bill Darte, David
Farmer, and John Sweeting. ARIN Board and Advisory Council
incumbents may be re-elected for consecutive terms. <br>
<br>
Please note: <br>
<br>
1. You must be a Trustee or an ARIN General Member in good
standing to make nominations. However, those nominated do not need

nonmembers seeking to nominate themselves. <br>
<br>
2. All nominees are subject to the Nomination and Appointment
