by DotAsia Organisation 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

We regret to inform the Members and Electorate of dot.Asia, of the following. Earlier today we received a withdrawal of candidacy from Mr Neil Gane. As a result of this, and noting that 6 votes had already been cast, we have today temporarily suspended the voting platform, whilst we updated and engaged with the Board, and with their concurrence, once unsuspended shortly, fresh voting credentials with revised explanatory notes, will be sent to the electorate to vote on the now reduced slate. We regret the inconvenience caused by this withdrawal to those who had already cast their poll for candidates, before the suspension of the current vote round and of course to the electorate and members in general. This update Poll is planned to start date Feb 3, 2022, 00:00 UTC - Poll close date unchanged so Feb 14, 2022, 23:59 UTC - Same email vote confirmations will be used as previously described. This affects the following aspects of the current election; the total number of candidates is now 5 for 3 seats and the number of candidates able to be selected for the 1 North East Asia seat is now 2 candidates, noting then- * The following 5 candidates are up for election for the 3 seats in the Sponsor Member category: * Arthur CHANG * Leonid TODOROV * Maureen HILYARD * Murad IBRAGIMOV * Nicole T. I. CHAN * The 2 candidates for election from the sub-region North East Asia are: * Arthur CHANG * Nicole T. I. CHAN As previously announced after voting, the single candidate from those two (2) listed immediately above, who receive the highest number of votes will be deemed elected for the sub-region of North East Asia with the 2 remaining seats filled by the top 2 candidates from the remaining 4. Regards, and apologies for this inconvenience to the electorate. [cid:180d70e7-01af-40ed-934f-e59784273747] Cheryl Langdon-Orr DotAsia Election Chair 2022
