Review of ARIN Board Governance Committee Report (GovCom).

Paul Andersen (as GovCom Chair) reviewed the outcome of the GovCom meeting. The President circulated the report to the Board. Mr. Andersen reviewed the highlights of the report including consideration of term limits, expansion of the voter base of the Advisory Council to more than just ARIN Members and potential publishing of Board agendas in advance of meetings.

Board Term Limits.

The Board discussed term limits for its members and members of the ARIN AC. No consensus was reached. It was the sense of the Board that additional input on the matter would be obtained through the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process (ACSP). The President stated he would draft the language for the consultation.

Board Meeting Agendas and Documents.

The Board discussed posting their agenda (after approval by the Chair) in advance of their meetings. There was Board consensus in support of the public pre-publication of the Board’s agenda. The Board was split on the question of the pre-publication of supporting materials.

Board Standing Committees.

The question was raised if the GovCom should be a Board standing committee. It was the sense of the Board that it should be. The President indicated that appropriate materials would be prepared to make the GovCom a standing committee performing tasks as assigned by the Board.

5. Adjournment

The Chair entertained a motion to adjourn at 8:53 a.m. CDT. Scott Bradner moved to adjourn, seconded by John Curran. The meeting adjourned with no objections.
