<p class="MsoNormal">Hey everyone!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As many of you are aware, in February I embarked on getting your support to protect our RIR’s from bad actors, and wow did it blow up, it became a huge part of my life for a while, I want to thank all of you who helped me, and for those
who simply voted, I also extend my thanks because voter turnout was my biggest worry.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">APNIC 55 saw the biggest voting body in history and many of you submitted my EC reform request templates (or various amended versions).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well APNIC has listened and the following has been announced:

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alongside this, two other very important announcements have just been released:

https://blog.apnic.net/2023/07/12/updating-apnics-governance-structure/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blog.apnic.net/2023/07/12/giving-apnic-members-power-to-change-the-apnic-by-laws/">https://blog.apnic.net/2023/07/12/giving-apnic-members-power-to-change-the-apnic-by-laws/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am so proud of everyone who helped push this, so now I’m asking for as many of you to be involved in the consultation process so that we might protect APNIC and in turn other RIR’s well into the future.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please sign up for the proposal consultations. Do it. <o:p></o:p></p>
