Dear AP Region Members, I am writing to kindly remind you to cast your vote in the ongoing ccNSO/AP-Region election, to select one Council member from the region. To date, 26 members have voted, and we have not yet reached the required quorum for a valid outcome. Voting closes next week, Tuesday 9 December 2025, 23:59 UTC. Quorum is achieved when more than half of the Emissaries in the region vote: the region counts 57 Emissaries in total. Please locate the ballot sent from @eballot.com: reminders are regularly sent to all Emissaries who have not yet voted. If you haven’t already done so, please review the election notice and submit your vote. Read more here: https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-17nov25-en.htm Your participation is important — every vote counts and helps ensure a representative outcome for the Region. Thank you. Sincerely, Joke Braeken joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org>
