Mike -
As noted in the attached message about this consultation series, there is a
short list of topics that are being finalized for consideration by the Board
for possible consultation with the community to improve ARIN?s governance. I
asked the Board that these consultations not be done en masse due to the
difficultly on maintaining reasonable engagement on many concurrent threads.
We are presently conducting the community consultation on the merits of adding
term limits to the ARIN Board of Trustees, and this consultation runs 15 days.
Upon its completion, we will be approach year-end and are likely to pause
briefly until after the holidays/new year and then resume in early January with
the others. (Also note - it?s a tad premature to discuss the specific scope of
future consultations until the Board has reviewed and finalized such.)
I hope this helps inform folks on the process - with that information, do you
have any views in support or opposition on the topic of term limits for the
ARIN Board of Trustees?
Thanks!

Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN Governance Working Group Consultation Series
Date: 1 December 2021 at 12:47:08 PM EST
To: arin-announce <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>
ARIN?s Board of Trustees established a Governance Working Group (GWG) in
January 2020 to assess the structure and operation of ARIN?s Board. To complete
this work, the GWG will be presenting a series of four consultations, with the
first one starting today at
https://www.arin.net/participate/community/acsp/#consultations, to gather
community input on proposed improvements to ARIN governance.
An article about the formation and work of the GWG is available on the ARIN
Blog at https://www.arin.net/blog/2021/12/01/get-to-know-the-gwg/ to provide
background on the work that led to this series of recommendations. Each of
these consultations will be held over a period of two business weeks and the
resulting feedback will be factored into implementation of any subsequent
changes to ARIN?s Bylaws.
The topics of the four consultations are as follows:
* Term Limits for the Board of Trustees ? Proposing to impose term limits to
balance continuity with healthy turnover, introduce differing views and fresh
perspectives, and increase opportunities for participation on the Board.
* Changing the ARIN Election Process from ?First to the Post? Voting to a
?Single Transferable Vote? Balloting Process ? Proposing a new balloting
process to provide greater voting choice and allow ranking candidates in order
of preference to achieve more proportional election results with no wasted
votes.
* Improvements to the Nomination Committee Process and Procedure ? Proposing
changes that will support greater Board independence, transparency, and
impartiality.
* Increasing the Board Size ? We recognize that this has been discussed before,
but the evolving complexities of ARIN?s governance have stretched the capacity
and skills of the Board with increased workload. We are reopening this
discussion with the community to propose changes to strengthen specific areas
of expertise on the Board, including corporate governance, finance,
cybersecurity, and risk management.
We hope that by breaking these consultations out separately and conducting them
successively that the community will be able to focus of the merits of each
proposed change independently. During these consultations the GWG will be
available to answer questions to provide clarity on the elements of the
proposed improvements, and we will be using the feedback of the community to
advise the Board on the final decision regarding each consultation. We look
forward to robust community discussion as each consultation is conducted over
the coming weeks.
Regards,
ARIN?s Board of Trustees, Governance Working Group
Nancy Carter, Peter Harrison, and Catherine Middleton

Hi John,
I prefer expanding the size of the board over term limits, but if the board
stays the same size I support 9 year term limits.
I would prefer the limits apply to current board members.
Thanks to Andrew Dul for the analysis.
In reference to the NomCom discussion, since the NomCom calendar begins so
early I would hope to see that discussion sooner rather than later.
Regards,
Mike
