Context
OUR TAKE While ARIN’s nomination process is detailed and well-organised, it could be more open and inclusive. The high requirements for board positions, such as having years of experience and deep knowledge, might limit the number of potential candidates. This could exclude new voices and diverse backgrounds. —Sylvia Shen, BTW reporter The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) is accepting nominations until Monday, June 24, to fill seats on the Board and other organisations.
