Hello Nich! On Oct 3, 2023, at 4:26 PM, Nicholas Warren <nwarren@barryelectric.com> wrote: 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.

The candidates were classified by an independent third-party vendor firm based on the Nominee Classification Process in the NomCom Charter.

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.
