<title>[arin-discuss] ARIN Consultation: Changing the Voter
Eligibility for ARIN Member Organizations</title>
<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<p><font size="2">ARIN is seeking feedback from its membership
about changing voting<br>
eligibility so that any ARIN web account linked to an
Admin and/or Tech<br>
POC of a Member organization may cast the ballot for the
organization's<br>
one vote in ARIN elections. This change would replace the
Designated<br>
Member Representative (DMR) role in the ARIN elections and
allow<br>
organizations to have more that one eligible voter. There
is no change<br>
to the one vote per Organization ID rule.<br>
We are suggesting this change in order to increase
participation in ARIN<br>
elections. This change would:<br>
<br>
* Allow organizations to have more than one eligible
voter, thereby<br>
increasing the chances that someone would be available to
cast a ballot<br>
<br>
* Eliminate the need for Members to create and
update the DMR POC<br>
with its specialized email requirements<br>
<br>
Note: The benefit of allowing more than one
individual the ability<br>
to cast the organization's one vote may in some cases
require internal<br>
coordination to determine who will cast the vote. If a
second individual<br>
attempts to vote, they will receive notification that
their organization<br>
has already voted and they will not be able to cast a
ballot.<br>
<br>
ARIN is seeking input from the community regarding this
potential<br>
change, including whether it would be beneficial and if
made, whether<br>
voting eligibility should be provided to Admin POCs or
Admin and Tech POCs.<br>
