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.

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.
