Subject: [ARIN-consult] Consultation on Implementing Term Limits for
the ARIN Board of Trustees
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
The Board of Trustees maintains authority over the scope, mission, and along
with the President and Chief Executive Officer establishes ARIN?s strategic
direction and fiscal oversight. The Board also has oversight authority of the
nomination, appointment, and election of individuals to Board committees and
similar roles.
Over the past two years, as part of its fiduciary duties, the ARIN Board of
Trustees (?Board?) has undertaken a review of ARIN?s governance structures,
including the imposition of term limits on the Board. As part of this effort,
an independent, outside consultant was engaged to review ARIN?s governance
structures and provide recommendations.
One recommendation that has arisen from this governance review is to impose
term limits on the Board for several reasons. Term limits would provide the
ability for the community to realize the following benefits:
1. Balance of continuity with healthy turnover;
2. Support ongoing opportunity to expand and enhance the Board?s membership;
3. Greater introduction of differing views and fresh perspectives amongst the
Board;
4. Periodic renewed look at structures and governance; and
5. More opportunities for participation by members of the community.
Board Proposal
ARIN will impose term limits on the elected seats of the Board.
The term limits will permit elected Board members to serve three consecutive
3-year terms before requiring a two-year period during which such Board members
are ineligible to serve on the Board.
Current Board members may serve out the remainder of their current term, and
the term limits will be imposed upon any subsequent re-election to the Board.
Any current Board member would therefore be eligible to serve three additional
terms upon re-election, to ensure continuity, orderly succession, and prevent
precipitous loss of corporate memory.
ARIN seeks community feedback on this proposed imposition of term limits on the
Board. This consultation will remain open for 15 days.

I'm ambivalent as to whether term limits are a good idea overall.

If you're going to do term limits, this seems like a reasonable limit.

This means that the proposal is completely irrelevant for the next 9 years,
right? If anyone thinks they have any idea what ARIN's governance needs
will be in 2030, I admire but do not share your confidence.
As best I can tell, this proposal is a no-op over the near- and medium-term
(this decade), and would be subject to change at any time before it goes
into effect. If you want to make the smallest change possible on this
topic, this seems like a good contender for that. As such, I don't have any
objection to doing so, but don't expect to see any strong support for it
either.

Is this merely a rehash of the "Consultation on Increasing the size of the
ARIN Board of Trustees" discussion on implementing politicized "Diversity"?
Is the Board unanimous on this issue? If not, what are the dissenting
opinions?
Who is the independent consultant/consulting agency ARIN hired for this
endeavor? What were their objectives specifically?

I?m curious on your thoughts as to why efforts to create a more diverse
governorship body for ARIN is a bad thing for ARIN and/or the community. Care
to explain how this would negatively impact the community?
Thanks,
