[arin-discuss] Use of ARIN Mailing lists for candidate advocacy (was: Re: my recommendations for the election of two trustees to the arin board)

[John Curran]

Paul (and the greater ARIN Community) -

For avoidance of doubt, the ARIN mailing lists are not to be used for campaigning or
advocacy of candidates.   The election guidelines make clear that the candidates are
not to engage in this activity, but the practice must be clearly be applied to all mailing
list participants to be meaningful.

For those who wish to make a statement in support of a candidate, please go to the
ARIN Election Headquarters - <https://www.arin.net/app/election/>, and click on
"Make Statements of Support"

Thank you,
/John

attention, arin members.

 today in my remarks at the public policy meeting in phoenix AZ i recommended two candidates, noting that i am ending my service to ARIN on december 31 after nine years on your board of trustees.


first, i quoted my remarks from http://teamarin.net/2013-elections/vint-cerf/ as follows:
Working with Vint has been the thrill of a lifetime. He is even better than his reputation and he provides solid luminary leadership everywhere he goes for ARIN. I urge and request that the voting members return him to the board for a second term. I still miss Jon Postel but Vint is the next best thing.

second, i quoted the following text from http://teamarin.net/2013-elections/bernadette-lewis/
Bernadette is a voice of intelligent rationality not just for the Caribbean but for the ARIN region and for the Internet’s way of doing things. She is one of us who, luckily for us, is also highly regarded by the govvies and bellheads. She already represents our goals and principles, she already fights our fights. Seating her on our board is the only logical thing to do. I could not have asked for a more uplifting successor as I leave the ARIN board after three terms.

thank you again for electing me to serve you these last nine years. it's been an expansive, humbling experience. please vote, if you are a designated member representative (DMR). otherwise please find out who your organization's DMR is and ensure that your organization votes in the elections for NRO Numbers Council, ARIN Advisory Council, and ARIN Board of Trustees. more information, instruction, and contact information for ARIN staff can be found at https://www.arin.net/public/election/
