It is good to see the vibrant election process under way in APRALO. While our process is fair and open-ended, I do see a need for a more rigorous process that makes it possible to identify the best candidate. For instance, I see nominations of people who do not even belong to our community, made by people who are completely unknown and haven't made any contributions whatsoever. For some positions that require persons of substantial background, I am seeing nominations of people without any relevant background. For APRALO to accomplish our vision, it is crucial that our election process identifies the right people. I hope our Leadership can further refine the process for the future. With that, I'd like to express my support for the following candidates: * Satish Babu for ALAC member * Amrita for APRALO Chair * Aris for APRALO Vice Chair *"Great leaders do not desire to lead but to serve". - Myles Munroe* Thank you *Bikram Shrestha* President Nepal Internet Foundation On Tue, Apr 19, 2022 at 9:23 PM Bikram Shrestha <bikram.shrestha@idea.com.np> wrote:

Hi,
I wish to nominate Satish Babu, for the ALAC seat from the APRALO region.
Satish has been the Chair of APRALO for some time and I believe with this experience, he is eligible to go into the next level.
Regards,
Amrita
