The ARIN NomCom reviewed all duly submitted and timely nominations and the materials provided by the nominees. The NomCom’s robust deliberation process was informed by the diversity of perspectives and experience among NomCom Members and strong adherence to the mandate and terms of reference. <br><br>Various factors were considered including, but not limited to, experience, involvement in the ARIN community, and responses to the nominee questionnaires. After careful and thoughtful review of each nominee, it was decided to not put your Advisory Council nomination forward onto the initial slate of candidates this year. <br><br>Catherine Middleton<br>Chair, ARIN Nomination Committee 2021<div id="m_-2697033287615671713gmail-m_4197998592467283592message"></div><br id="m_-2697033287615671713gmail-m_4197998592467283592br3"><br id="m_-2697033287615671713gmail-m_4197998592467283592br3"><br id="m_-2697033287615671713gmail-m_4197998592467283592br3"><div id="m_-2697033287615671713gmail-m_4197998592467283592signature"></div><div id="m_-2697033287615671713gmail-m_4197998592467283592content"></div></div><br></div>_______________________________________________<br>
