The 2021 ARIN Elections concluded at 5:00 PM ET on Friday, 12 November, and ARIN wishes to congratulate those elected by the community to serve on the Board of Trustees, Advisory Council (AC), and NRO Number Council.

Board of Trustees

Bram Abramson has been elected, and incumbent Peter Harrison has been re-elected to the Board of Trustees. Each will serve a three-year term commencing 1 January 2022. I hope you will join myself and rest of the Board of Trustees in thanking Ron da Silva, Dan Alexander, and Jeffrey Bedser for their participation in this year’s election. Their considerable contributions to ARIN, and across all levels of the Internet community, are deeply appreciated and we look forward to their continued participation.

Advisory Council

Brian Jones and Chris Woodfield have been elected, and incumbents Kat Hunter, Amy Potter, Kerrie Richards, Rob Seastrom, and Alicia Trotman have all been re-elected to the Advisory Council for terms beginning 1 January 2021. Based on vote totals, Kerrie Richards and Brian Jones will serve one-year terms to finish incomplete terms of previous Advisory Council members, and the rest will serve three-year terms. The Board of Trustees thanks Jeffry Handal and Karl Morin for their participation in this year’s Advisory Council elections and looks forward to their continued involvement in our community, including ARIN’s Policy Development Process (PDP).

NRO Number Council

Chris Quesada has been elected to a seat on the NRO Number Council from the ARIN region. His three-year term will begin 1 January 2022. The Board of Trustees wishes to thank John Barfield for his participation as a candidate in this year’s election and looks forward to his continued participation within ARIN and global Internet community.

Thanks and Appreciation

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to recognize and thank outgoing Board member Paul Andersen. Paul has served the ARIN community and membership for many years on both the Board of Trustees and Advisory Council, and we hope you’ll join us in thanking him for his leadership, his dedication, and so much of his time. We look forward to his continuing participation in the ARIN community.

We also wish to extend sincere and heartfelt thanks to Louie Lee, outgoing representative on the NRO Number Council for his many years of service and significant contributions to ARIN and the global Internet community. In addition, we would like to extend our appreciation to outgoing Advisory Council member Gary Giesen for his time serving on the Advisory Council.

Regards,

Bill Sandiford
Chair, ARIN Board of Trustees
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
