BOARD OF TRUSTEE NOMINATIONS

ARIN’s Board of Trustees is responsible for the business affairs, financial health, and property of ARIN. Board nominees should be able to demonstrate experience in performing fiduciary duties at the corporate level and making high-level budgetary, contractual, or other corporate/executive decisions. Board nominees should be available to attend several board meetings a year.

There are three ways to become a candidate for a seat on the Board of Trustees:

Be nominated by an ARIN member. Nominees do not have to be ARIN members.
If you are an ARIN member, you may self-nominate.
Nomination by petition as described below.

Nominations for the Board may be made without the Nomination Committee’s participation by presenting a petition signed by 5% of the total ARIN membership. Current ARIN membership totals 1,840; therefore ninety two

(92) members will be required to send statements of support to [email protected] in order for the petitioning candidate to be nominated

Per the ARIN Bylaws, a Nomination Committee has been formed to aid in the Board of Trustees election process. The seven-member 2002 Nomination Committee members are:

Board Representatives: Scott Bradner, Bill Manning

Advisory Council Representatives: Bill Darte, Barbara Roseman

General Members Representatives: Daniel Salama, IFX Corporation; Miguel Fernandez, Prima SA; Kris Foster, Telus

The Nomination Committee is responsible for identifying and recruiting nominees, in addition to certifying a properly selected list of candidates for the Board of Trustees. The Nomination Committee is required to send at least two (2) candidates per open seat to the general membership for a vote.
