    confirmation. Your suggestion that ARIN institute a 6-year
    contiguous term limit followed by a 3-year ineligibility period for
    Advisory Council representatives has been forwarded to the ARIN
    Board of Trustees' Governance Committee as input to their
    deliberations regarding ARIN's governance.<br>
    <br>
    This suggestion will remain open until such time that we have
    conclusion from the committee.<br>

    ARIN Comment<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
