Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Wed Apr 27 12:33:28 2016 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 12:33:28 -0400 Subject: [ARIN-Suggestions] New ACSP Suggestions Message-ID: <5720E9D8.8050803@arin.net> ARIN has received two new suggestions through the ACSP. 1. 2016.5: Publish Regional Breakdown of Voting in Elections https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2016-05.html Submitted: 26 April Suggestion Details: Description: Arin should publish breakdown of election stats by region or country. For example X out of y members voted in America | Canada | carribean. In addition Arin should publish this information for the last 5 years if it is still available. Value to Community: Arin is considering ways to increase diversity of the board and AC. Some of the options being considered involve various sectors of the region electing their own representative. Publishing historical information about voting by sector would allow the community to understand the potential impact and understand the level of involvement by sector in the election process. ARIN response: Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2016.5 upon confirmed receipt, requesting that ARIN publish the breakdown by sub-region (US, Canada, Caribbean) of the number of organizations who voted in the ARIN Board and Advisory Council elections in past and future elections. It is a challenge to resurrect the data from previous elections. However, as we see that this data may be useful in the discussions surrounding how to gain diversity on the ARIN Board of Trustees and Advisory Council, we will begin providing the data at the conclusion of the 2016 election and going forward. Please consider this suggestion now closed, noting that the 2016 election data will be published in a reasonable amount of time following the conclusion of the 2016 elections. 2. 2016.6: Add PO Field to Invoices in ARIN Online https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2016-06.html Submitted: 26 April Suggestion Details: Description: Add an optional field for PO numbers on the Modify Payments and Billing page in ARIN Online that would populate the PO field on ARIN invoices. Value to Community: Currently there is a field on ARIN invoices for PO numbers, but there is no way to proactively add a PO# in ARIN Online under billing information. Adding this field (as optional information) so it would populate the PO# on the invoice would enable companies using PO#s to streamline their payment process to ARIN.
