Dear All, I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing today to address a matter of utmost significance regarding the Proposed By-law Reform 2023 and the resolutions tabled therein. I have reviewed the resolutions made available on the APNIC website (https://www.apnic.net/about-apnic/organization/structure/proposed-by-law-reform-2023/) and noticed a glaring omission – the absence of the "One Member, One Vote" proposal, previously discussed in the APNIC-TALK mailing list thread (https://orbit.apnic.net/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/ZKCVGBHGPQZIYXX74W6PF4QXDT3AJXJY/#U3OWTE7ZI2CT5AFVJMAJYKQYFORE2UBA). The principle of "One Member, One Vote" is not only a cornerstone of transparency and inclusivity but also a fundamental tenet of fair governance in organizations such as APNIC. It serves as a means to ensure that every member's voice is heard and equally weighed in decision-making processes, fostering an environment of democratic participation. Therefore, its exclusion from the tabled resolutions raises serious concerns about the direction our community is heading in terms of democratic representation and decision-making. Given the extensive discussions that have taken place on the APNIC-TALK mailing list, it is perplexing to witness the absence of "One Member, One Vote" in the proposed resolutions. I believe it is our collective responsibility to seek clarity on this matter. I kindly invite the EC to provide an explanation for the omission of such a crucial proposal. Shedding light on the rationale behind this decision would not only address the concerns of many within the community but also reinforce the transparency and accountability that APNIC has consistently strived to uphold. In light of the above, I urge the EC to engage with the community and address this issue promptly. The APNIC community has always thrived on open dialogue and collaborative decision-making, and it is imperative that we uphold these values during this crucial phase of proposed reforms. I eagerly anticipate a response that will clarify the reasons for the exclusion of "One Member, One Vote" from the Proposed By-law Reform 2023 resolutions. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
