On 23 March 2018, the ARIN Board of Trustees, with due recognition to the need to improve Board diversity with regard to Caribbean background, formed a special “2018 Appointment Candidate Committee” in order to recruit and recommend potential candidates for appointment to the ARIN Board of Trustees. This is in keeping with the ARIN Bylaws, which allow the Board of Trustees at its discretion to appoint an additional voting member to the Board for a term not to exceed one year so as to provide more diversity in the Board’s composition.

The 2018 Appointment Candidate Committee is now soliciting volunteers of Caribbean background of who are interested in serving on the ARIN Board of Trustees.
