Folks - 

Per ARIN Bylaws <https://www.arin.net/about_us/corp_docs/bylaws.html> 
regarding Elections for the ARIN Board and ARIN AC, it specifies:

 "The number of qualified Candidates for each body shall exceed the 
  number of open positions. "

It is indeterminate whether we have sufficient nominations at this time 
as necessary for the ballot, and hence all members should consider whether 
they are aware of anyone who could serve ably in these capacities.  Details 
on nominating candidates is attached - Note that the deadline for making 
nominations is 17:00 ET on Tuesday, 4 September 2012.

Thank you!
