Re: [apnic-talk] Elections (myamanis@bb.softbank.co.jp)
Actually the concern is that regions not having representation in EC feel
that their view is not heard. If actually it is being heard, there is very
less visibility that it is indeed so.
Hence it is appropriate that there is mechanism to hear and respond to all.
EC representation gives that confidence.

Dear Naresh and all,
It seems that your concern (and recent discussions) are focused on the
composition
of EC and the election system. However, IMHO, the composition is just the
surface
and the election system is just a procedure.
Most important point for all stakeholder is the output of EC and each EC
member's
contribution for it, I believe.
What is your concerns from this point?
Rgs,
Masato YAMANISHI

This transparency has to come-how voting took place, number of votes
casted to all candidates....we can?t limit this information to selectd
few.....Shall we move to way forward or still more discussions are required
on the concerns?

Hello Mathew,
In my opinion the problem is not with very "Small Voting Rights" but
the problem is how many members from these economies actually cast their
vote. Can any one from APNIC share these stats?

Dear all,
How about having 1 rotating seat for economies like Bangladesh,
Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal and others who control very small voting
rights, and who have never had a member elected and cannot do so in the
foreseeable future with the same regulations.
There's ?56 countries which are in the APNIC RIR "zone". I count 9
(Japan, Australia, Korea, India, China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan,
Thailand) that have had members from their countries elected to the board.
The seat could go on a round robin basis on pure consensus.
One thing missing from the table of WHO got elected is who has run
for election. Of the nations you mention above have any of them attempted
to gain a position on the EC and been unable? If they were elected to the
EC through a change of policy what would you assert the difference would be
as far as APNIC is run and resources allocated? Especially as my
understanding that the policies behind resource allocation etc are set by
members voting by show of hands at the meetings not by the EC in private.
There seems to be a number of people pushing the idea that somehow
some nations are favoured over others at APNIC and that somehow the nations
with smaller voting rights are "missing out". Is this really the case?
Is it a language issue or a cultural issue? Is the issue that some
people assume it's harder for them than others or that it's harder because
they don't do it that often? The company I work for does quite a bit of
work to do our allocations especially now we have to justify some historic
space.
Is the actual issue education and maybe some help/mentoring from
others? eg. maybe some exchange of ideas between members in different
parts of the region might actually help those who don't interact with APNIC
as often for allocation get some help from those who do or have less
cultural/language issues?
Regards,
Matthew
