I have my own opinions on why this is, but they aren't worth elaborating at this time - in fact, I suspect many ARIN members here on NANOG can speak for themselves if they wanted to. In any case, this is just my impression. If you would rather share some statistics on member participation, election fairness, etc, then such facts might be more useful.i think our participation level in elections is quite high and i'll ask for details and see them published here.
Paul - Information regarding ARIN's last election is online here: <https://www.arin.net/announcements/2010/20101019_ElectionWinners.html> I've attached the relevant section regarding participation, and it should be noted that more than 12% of the potential electorate voted in last year's election. This is typical turnout for our elections, and while I have been told anecdotally that this is relatively high turnout for membership organization, I do not have hard data points for comparison at this time. I would encourage all NANOG members to confirm their designated member representatives with ARIN (i.e. the official organizational contacts) and vote (or if someone else in your organization encourage them to do so) in the upcoming ARIN election for the ARIN Advisory Council and the ARIN Board of Trustee positions. FYI, /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN === From <https://www.arin.net/announcements/2010/20101019_ElectionWinners.html> 2010 VOTER STATISTICS 3,690 ARIN members as of 21 September 2010 2,834 Eligible voters* as of 21 September 2010 *ARIN members in good standing with properly registered Designated Member Representatives on record 1 January 2010 355 unique member organizations cast a ballot in the Board of Trustees election. 356 unique member organizations cast a ballot in the Advisory Council election. 364 unique member organizations cast a ballot in either the Board of Trustees or Advisory Council election
