Thanks for this Karl,

As mentioned elsewhere Aussies and Kiwi=92s have traditionally been low par=
ticipation on APNIC elections to our own detriment.

If you=92re looking for people to support who do not support the stacking o=
f the EC your best option in this election will be to vote for the Regional=
 NIR representatives from Taiwan (TWNIC), India (IRINN), Japan (JPNIC) and =
China (CNNIC) as they all oppose these bad actors and already control a lar=
ge number of votes due to their APNIC member status, making them the most l=
ikely candidates to support and carry the proposed by-law variations into r=
eality.

Other ideas like putting up our own candidate in this election are only goi=
ng to dilute the value of your votes possibly allowing bad actors to win se=
ats. So when voting opens =96 on top of submitting Karls template to the EC=
 via the APNIC portal =96 please go and vote AND look for the above candida=
tes rather than just blindly stabbing at the keyboard because you don=92t k=
now anyone on the list.

Kind Regards,

David Hooton

Subject: [AusNOG] An urgent call to action - Do your part and protect APNIC
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important<https:/=
/aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
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.
