Thank you Quim. Hi Everyone,
In light of this development, ESEAP (East, Southeast Asia and the Pacific) will hold a special meeting on August 8, Sunday at 02:00 UTC (Saturday evening in the Americas). https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ESEAP_Hub/Meetings/8_August_2021 Election candidates are free to join in this event and we will simply do a typical town hall where our regional community members ask question to the candidates.
