About ARIN Elections

Board of Trustees and Advisory Council

Each Fall, representatives from ARIN’s General Members in Good Standing elect candidates to the ARIN Board of Trustees and Advisory Council (AC) to serve staggered three-year terms.

NRO NC

For two out of every three years, eligible ARIN General Members elect one ARIN representative to the Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC) to serve a three-year term. Every third year, ARIN’s Board of Trustees appoints an ARIN representative from a community-developed pool of nominees.

In 2025, General Members will vote to fill the open seat on the NRO NC for a three-year term starting 1 January 2026. To learn more about the NRO NC, visit the NRO NC website.
