I am humbled and honored to be selected to serve on the AC at this key time in the Internet’s history. In less than a year (likely far less), we will run out of free/unallocated IPv4 addresses. This will (and already is) bring many challenges to bear for all of us, perhaps especially for those committed to providing stewardship for the Internet. I salute everyone willing to take on that burden and am extremely grateful that you selected me to continue my work in this area as a member of the AC.
ARIN XXVI is fast approaching and that means that the 2010 ARIN Elections are almost upon us. First and foremost I would like to remind/encourage/demand that everyone who is eligible to vote gets registered! The dead line to register is Tuesday, 21 September – which is only 4 days away! As I reported in an [...]
Yep, I have been nominated (again) as a potential candidate for the ARIN Advisory Council in this year’s election. I am extremely honored that other ARIN members think highly enough of me to put my name forward for this position. Thank you! I will wait until my candidacy becomes official before laying out my “platform” [...]

For anyone who wasn’t there in person, or who just wants to see it again, here is a video of the short speech I made in Dearborn at ARIN XXIV last Wednesday: You can view all of the Board of Trustees and Advisory Council candidates speeches along with their bio’s at the ARIN Election Headquarters [...]
In my previous post about this years ARIN elections, I promised to write a bit more about my own candidacy. I guess in political terms that means outlining my platform. Lucky for me, that is actually quite simple, my platform can be summarized in one word: Openness. Openness defines my candidacy for two reasons; it [...]
It is that time of year again folks, time for the back to back NANOG and ARIN meetings and the annual ARIN election. This means that if your company is involved with the Internet, you should at the very least be paying attention, if not registering to attend one or both of these meetings. If [...]
Well, the results are now official; I did not get a seat on the ARIN AC this year. I will of course continue my activity on the ARIN PPML and hopefully make it to (at least one or two of) next years meetings. Who knows, maybe I will run again in 2009! Congratulations to everyone [...]
The ARIN XXII meeting report was made available today. It contains, among many other things, a transcript of all the BoT and AC candidate speeches that were made on Friday morning. I have copied mine here: MR. GRUNDEMANN: Good morning. Yes, I’m Christopher Grundemann. I was sitting there thinking about what I could say up [...]
