<div dir="ltr">Hi Karl, et all. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">What a fantastic initiative. Personally, I welcome all the suggested changes to the by-laws. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I encourage everyone to read and help save APNIC from this mess. <span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">For those that want to help, there are two things you can do that will make a difference immediately. <span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<ol>
<li>Your vote counts! AU/NZ is very under voted in APNIC elections and this is the best way to stop it!<span></span></li><li>Send a note to the APNIC EC as per Karl's template. The best way to contact them is by emailing ec@apjic.net, with a cc to execsec@apnic.net. </li></ol>

<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal">As many are aware, EC Elections are upon us, but few are aware of the dangers currently ahead.</p>
<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal">Some of the nominees are attempting to board stack and gain control of the EC.</p>

<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal">I implore you to read my attached document and do your part by contacting the EC with the provided template.</p>
<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal">By-laws require a very large voter base to enact, but it is possible. Australia and NZ have some of the largest voter block in the APNIC and enough to trigger a by-law change.</p>
<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal">I cannot stress this enough; the danger is very real – at the time of sending this email at least five candidates are either directly endorsed by NRS or the company LARUS.</p>

<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal">Do your part, pass this email, send this template to APNIC members you know and let's garnish the votes necessary to protect our internet and our APNIC.</p>
