PPML Folks -

</div>
<div class="">After a series of community consultations, ARIN has made several improvements to the election process that will be in effect for 2022 elections.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Details attached below. I note that one significant change is that individuals now self-nominate (this avoids a bit of confusion on the part of those nominated by others at the last minute and their timely questionnaire completion…), and your
nomination occurs upon submission of a completed nominee application by the deadline. <b class="">
</b>For those considering running for ARIN elected positions, it will be important to decide that so as to allow yourself enough time for nominee questionnaire completion and submission prior to the deadline. </div>
