2026 OARC AGM

The OARC Inc. 2026 Annual General Meeting will be held as a hybrid in-person and online event during OARC 47 in Vancouver, BC, Canada, on Tuesday 10th November at 23:45 UTC (15:45 PST).

Rotation of OARC Directors means we have 3 Board seats to fill by election at this AGM. We are looking for passionate and dedicated candidates willing to serve a two-year term on the Board, and who will contribute actively to the ongoing development of OARC. The Board meets regularly to review DNS-OARC strategy and operations. We expect our directors to take an active role in participating in ongoing discussions within committees, and to offer oversight and feedback as necessary.

New for this year, we have published a list of Board Director Requirements and Responsibilities, which clarifies the amount of commitment required and other details.

Note that Board seats are held in an individual rather than Member organization capacity. Candidates however must be nominated by a DNS-OARC Member in good standing, and employed by or affiliated with a particular Member organization when nominated. No Member organization may nominate more than one candidate.

If your Member organization would like to nominate a candidate, please send an email to <board2026@dns-oarc.net> with a brief statement of the nominee's background and platform. We will be asking nominees for a statement of interest.

To vote at the AGM and nominate, stand or vote in the Board elections, a Member must be in Good Standing at the time of the Record Date of 23:59 UTC on 9th October.

The initial deadline for Board nominations is 23:59 UTC on 9th October.
