Folks - For those of you associated with ARIN member organizations, please note two important deadlines fast approaching - 31 August<x-apple-data-detectors://11> is the last day for ARIN Members to nominate candidates to serve on the ARIN Board of Trustees and/or Advisory Council. Note that 31 August is also the last day to nominate candidates to represent the ARIN region on the NRO Number Council (and anyone in the community may make such a nomination.) Submit your nomination(s) at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ARIN2016 and find more information about ARIN elections at: https://www.arin.net/participate/elections/ Each ARIN member organization may cast one ballot in the ARIN elections and voting is done by their Voting Contact on record. New this year, all Voting Contacts must be linked to an ARIN Online account in order to cast their ballot. 6 September<x-apple-data-detectors://14> is the deadline to have that account linked and otherwise ensure that your organization is eligible to vote. Information is available at: https://www.arin.net/about_us/membership/votingcontacts.html or please reach out to members@arin.net<mailto:members@arin.net> today with questions or requests for assistance. Thanks for your time and interest in the governance of ARIN! /John John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
