                      Folks - <br>
                      <br>
                      In accordance with the Virginia nonstock
                      corporation act, ARIN makes available online for
                      inspection the list of eligible voters for its
                      annual election.  That list includes both the
                      organization name and the organization’s postal
                      address (note that we do not provide email contact
                      information or telephone numbers as part of this
                      list.)<br>
                      <br>
                      ARIN’s election procedures do not constrain
                      candidates from promotion of any form; this has
                      been discussed with the Board in the past with the
                      result being that it is best left to the judgement
                      of each voter what constitutes useful and
                      informative information versus an undesired appeal
                      for support.<br>
                      <br>
                      There are many ways that the eligible voter list
                      can be reconciled with the related e-mail
                      addresses, and this does include potentially use
                      of ARIN’s Whois and Bulk Whois services. Our
                      present terms of use for those Whois services do
                      not specifically mention use related to ARIN
                      election purposes, and as such an it is possible
                      to argue either side of the usage being
                      permissible or impermissible. 
                      <br>
                      <br>
                      I am aware of candidate email campaigns occurring
                      in several of the past years, and this year
                      appears to be no different.  I would ask that for
                      the time being, folks consider such emails as one
                      more additional encouragement to vote (if you have
                      not already).   Once this election is complete, we
                      can then enjoy a discussion of whether any changes
                      to our Whois terms of use (or our election
                      processes in general) is warranted in this regard.
                      <br>
                      <br>
                      Thanks! (and again - remember to vote!)<br>
