Subject: [arin-announce] Seeking Nominations: Board, AC, and NRO NC

To: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>
General Members in good standing are invited to nominate candidates for two (2)
seats on the Board of Trustees (Board), five (5) seats on the Advisory Council
(AC), and one (1) seat on the Number Resource Organization (NRO) Number Council
that become open when current terms expire on 31 December 2012.
The Board of Trustees and Advisory Council elections have a Nomination
Committee (NomCom) that is responsible for identifying, recruiting, and
certifying a properly selected slate of candidates to be placed in nomination
before the membership for election. This year's NomCom members are: Board of
Trustee members Timothy Denton and Scott Bradner, Advisory Council members
Chris Grundemann and Kevin Blumberg, and general member volunteers Stephen
Middleton, Justin Clutter, and Peter Rocca. Timothy Denton is serving as NomCom
Chair.
New Board and Advisory Council terms begin 1 January 2013. Board members Paul
Andersen and Scott Bradner, and Advisory Council representatives Stacy Hughes,
Chris Morrow, Bill Sandiford, Robert Seastrom, and Heather Schiller will
conclude their current terms on 31 December 2012. Louie Lee’s seat for the NRO
NC also becomes open this year. Incumbents may be re-elected for consecutive
terms.
