Hi Karl, et all.

What a fantastic initiative. Personally, I welcome all the suggested change=
s to the by-laws.

I encourage everyone to read and help save APNIC from this mess.

For those that want to help, there are two things you can do that will make=
 a difference immediately.


  1.  Your vote counts! AU/NZ is very under voted in APNIC elections and th=
is is the best way to stop it!
  2.  Send a note to the APNIC EC as per Karl's template. The best way to c=
ontact them is by emailing [email protected], with a cc to [email protected]

Karl - thank you for starting this.

Warm Regards
Nick Pratley

Subject: [AusNOG] An urgent call to action - Do your part and protect APNIC


Everyone,



As many are aware, EC Elections are upon us, but few are aware of the dange=
rs currently ahead.

Some of the nominees are attempting to board stack and gain control of the =
EC.



I implore you to read my attached document and do your part by contacting t=
he EC with the provided template.



By-laws require a very large voter base to enact, but it is possible. Austr=
alia and NZ have some of the largest voter block in the APNIC and enough to=
 trigger a by-law change.



I cannot stress this enough; the danger is very real =96 at the time of sen=
ding this email at least five candidates are either directly endorsed by NR=
S or the company LARUS.



You can review this yourself here: https://2023.apricot.net/elections/nomin=
ations/



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 APNI=
C.



Thank you,

Karl Kloppenborg.
