Summary

  • ARIN’s 14 September notice records Kendrick Knowles’s withdrawal from the Advisory Council race and lists seven candidates.
  • The 2026 election has five AC seats; online voting is scheduled for 22 October at 3:00 p.m. ET through 30 October at 7:00 p.m. ET. The notice gives no reason for the withdrawal.

A revised roster before the ballot

The initial slate posted on 8 September listed eight Advisory Council candidates after noting the earlier withdrawal of Eun Bee (Jasmine) Cha. ARIN’s 14 September amendment records a later withdrawal by Kendrick Knowles and names seven AC candidates. At review on 11 October, ARIN’s live candidate page displayed the same seven: Douglas Camin, Elizabeth Goodson, Altie Jackson, Evghenii Kosatii, Kaitlyn Pellak, Leif Sawyer and Matthew Wilder.

The roster change leaves seven listed candidates for five AC seats. ARIN’s election calendar places the Final Slate announcement on 7 October and sets online voting from 22 October to 30 October. The current list therefore gives members a dated view of the field ahead of the ballot.

The count says how many people appear on the published list. It does not show candidate support, voter preferences, likely turnout or the reason Knowles withdrew; the amendment states none.
