As ARIN continues its efforts to create an impactful and inclusive meeting, we are pleased to provide an ombudsperson during ARIN 55. This ombudsperson will be available for meeting participants and provide the following services:

• Closely observe the ARIN 55 meeting and be available as a resource for any participant who believes they have observed, or have been subject to, a violation of the ARIN Participants Expected Standards of Behavior or offensive behavior or statements made by another participant.  If this occurs, the ombudsperson will address the situation both with that individual and potentially the alleged offending party to mediate or propose solutions aimed at preventing further issues.
• Provide coaching to meeting participants, which may include how to address sensitive matters with another participant or community member during the meeting.  
• Assist ARIN to create an inclusive and safe meeting environment.
