by Hong Xue Aug. 18, 2010

Aug. 18, 2010

Dear All, APRALO started a online vote to determine the APRALO-recommended ALAC Delegate to the Nominating Committee (NomCom). The two candidates, Siranush Vardanyan and Dr. V.C. Vivekanandan, have both accepted their nomination for the position of ALAC Delegate to the NomComfrom the Asia, Australasia and Pacific Islands Region before the close of the acceptation period on August 10th. They are are both eligible. The vote has closed on Sunday, 15 August at 2359 UTC. Given the diversity and wide geographic distribution of this organization, only a small number of ALSes casted their votes before the deadline. APRALO chairs, under the recommendation of ALAC Chair, therefore decide to extend the voting period to 23:00 UTC 22 August 2010. Staff will send out a separate email to confirm your voting credential. Regards Hong Xue Chair of APRALO
