Information regarding ARIN's last election is online here:
<https://www.arin.net/announcements/2010/20101019_ElectionWinners.html>
I've attached the relevant section regarding participation, and it should
be noted that more than 12% of the potential electorate voted in last yea=
r's=20
election. This is typical turnout for our elections, and while I have be=

told anecdotally that this is relatively high turnout for membership=20
organization, I do not have hard data points for comparison at this time.
I would encourage all NANOG members to confirm their designated member
representatives with ARIN (i.e. the official organizational contacts) and=

vote (or if someone else in your organization encourage them to do so) in
the upcoming ARIN election for the ARIN Advisory Council and the ARIN Boa=

of Trustee positions.
