_______________________________________________________________________ Call for Nominations to the APNIC Executive Council _______________________________________________________________________ Four positions on the APNIC Executive Council (EC) will be opened for election at APNIC 27 in Manila on Friday, 27 February 2009. The members whose positions are up for reelection are Kuo Wei Wu, Kusumba Sridhar, Mao Wei, and Ming-Cheng Liang, who were all elected at APNIC 24 in Bali on 2 March 2007. Nominations are due by the close of business on Tuesday, 13 February 2009 at the latest (17:30 UTC+10 Brisbane time). Nominees do not have to be representatives of members, but only APNIC members may nominate and vote for candidates. Nominations must be made using the online nomination form which will be available from 5 January 2009: http://meetings.apnic.net/elections/nominate.html If you are unable to vote online or attend APNIC 27, you can still make your vote count by appointing a proxy to represent you at the meeting. Proxy forms are available at: http://www.apnic.net/meetings/proxy.html For more information on nominations received, proxy registration, current EC members, and the role of the EC, please refer to: http://meetings.apnic.net/elections/about/index.html Online voting will be available for this election via the MyAPNIC web site and will open soon after the nomination period closes. Nominees should note that positions on the APNIC EC are currently voluntary and that APNIC may not be able to reimburse EC members all expenses associated with EC duties. Where possible, however, APNIC will reimburse actual expenses for attendance at APNIC meetings, providing that these fall within budget and cash flow constraints.
