As 4 seats were available to be filled in this Member category; 4 candidates were nominated, supported, and accepted nominations, and the required geographic sub-region diversity with at least 1 appointment to the Board being from each of the following subregions: 1. Australia & Pacific; 2. Central & South East Asia; 3. North East Asia and therefore, Article 33 of the DotAsia Memorandum and Articles is met; there was *no requirement for any vote *to be conducted in this By-Election of the Sponsor Member Class Directors for 2023, and these candidates can be declared. Therefore each can now be seated, uncontested, to the DotAsia Board in this By-Election for Sponsor Member Directors; as per section 40(d) of DotAsia’s M&A, which reads: *“If on the close of the nomination period, the number of candidates standing for election to the Board for a category is equal to or less than the number of vacancies for such category, the nominated candidates shall be deemed to be elected.”* [image: image.png] [image: PastedGraphic-1.png] Regards, Cheryl Langdon-Orr for the 2023 DotAsia Board Election Committee
