Does anyone know how many people will be elected from each category?

This year’s ARIN election will fill four (4) seats on the ARIN Board of Trustees and seven (7) seats on the ARIN 
Advisory Council.

I don’t regularly keep up with everyone’s business. So, are any of candidates overachievers or, well, underachievers?

I don’t know the scope of appropriate discussions on the nanog mailing list, but I would be remiss if I didn’t point 
out that there’s ARIN general-members mailing list where such discussion is actively encouraged –


All candidates for the Board and Advisory Council will be offered the ability to subscribe to the General Members 
Mailing List<https://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/general-members> to answer questions from the voting community. If 
your organization is a General Member at ARIN and plans to vote this year, we encourage you to join the mailing list to 
stay up to date on ARIN Election activity. Candidates have also been offered the opportunity to present themselves to 
the general membership in a brief, pre-recorded speech during ARIN 52<https://www.arin.net/ARIN52/>, and those speeches 
will be made available online during the voting period.

I’ve attached the full ARIN Candidate Slate announcement below, for those interested in such matters.

Thanks!

A compilation of candidate biographies and questionnaire responses is available at:
https://www.arin.net/participate/oversight/elections/candidate_bios.pdf
Each candidate for the Board of Trustees and Advisory Council, listed above, has a classification next to their name. 
The candidates were classified by an independent third-party vendor firm based on the Nominee Classification Process in 
the NomCom Charter. Every nominee is put forward on the initial slate unless the third-party vendor firm classifies a 
nominee as “Unable to Qualify.” No nominees were classified as “Unable to Qualify” this year. Fourteen nominations were 
received for the Advisory Council and twelve were received for the Board; all are present on the Final Slate of 
Candidates except for one Board nominee who withdrew their candidacy.
You are encouraged to submit and view Statements of Support for the candidates at: https://www.arin-elections.net/. 
Please note that all Statements of Support are automatically held for moderation and will be posted, upon approval, 
within one business day. All submissions are subject to the Statements of Support Acceptable Use 
Policy<https://arin-elections.net/statements-of-support-acceptable-use-policy/>.
All candidates for the Board and Advisory Council will be offered the ability to subscribe to the General Members 
Mailing List<https://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/general-members> to answer questions from the voting community. If 
your organization is a General Member at ARIN and plans to vote this year, we encourage you to join the mailing list to 
stay up to date on ARIN Election activity. Candidates have also been offered the opportunity to present themselves to 
the general membership in a brief, pre-recorded speech during ARIN 52<https://www.arin.net/ARIN52/>, and those speeches 
will be made available online during the voting period.
Petitions
As only nominees who were not added to the Initial Slate of Candidates may submit a petition, this constitutes both the 
Initial and Final Slate.
We hope you will join us in offering congratulations and wishing good luck to this year’s candidates. ARIN acknowledges 
and appreciates the time and commitment that these candidates are willing to make toward ensuring the vitality and 
growth of ARIN, the community, and the Internet. ARIN also extends thanks and appreciation to the members of the NomCom 
for their hard work in recruiting nominees.
