<br>
Keep the 3 year terms in place and add<br>
a 6 year contiguous term limit<br>
a 3 year ineligibility year period after a term ends be it 3year or
6years<br>
After 3 year ineligibility is over a person my run for a position on
the AC again.<span style="font-family:

ARIN Comment<br>
24 February 2015<br>
<br>
Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2014.7, regarding term
limits for the ARIN Advisory Council. Your suggestion that ARIN
institute a 6-year contiguous term limit followed by a 3-year
ineligibility period for Advisory Council representatives was
forwarded to the ARIN Board of Trustees' Governance Committee
(GovCom) as input to their deliberations regarding ARIN's
governance.<br>
<br>
This suggestion was discussed by the ARIN GovCom and Board at the
April 2014 meeting, as well as discussed at the ARIN 33 Member
Meeting. While there was no official community consultation, there
was substantial discussion on various ARIN mailing lists on this
topic with no consensus. Given this input in its June 2014 report,
the ARIN GovCom indicated that refinements to improve transparency
and accountability were the thrust of its work in 2014, and that
based on the input received it was not recommending any further
changes at this time.<br>
<br>
As such, we are closing this suggestion, and thank you for your
participation in the ARIN Suggestion and Consultation Process.<span
