The Executive Council of APNIC has recently established an independent Election Review Panel. This has been done in order to examine this topic with an independent and neutral perspective.

The members of the review panel are:

• Adiel Akplogan
• Save Vocea
• Philip Smith

The EC has appointed each of these individuals because they are well-known members of the APNIC community who were present at the APNIC 29 Members Meeting, they are not associated with an organizational Member of APNIC, and they did not take part in the Executive Council election process in any way.

The brief of this Panel is to prepare a factual report of the events of
the EC election in March 2010 and consider the following questions:

1. Were the election procedures followed?
   
2. Was the integrity of the election impaired in any manner? If so, how?
   
3. To provide recommendations as to how the conduct of the EC election process could be improved, as appropriate.

The purpose of this notice is to request community input to the review panel, addressing the questions being considered by the panel. Please address your response to this call for community input to exec-secretary@apnic.net.

We would appreciate it if you could ensure that you submit your response before Monday, 5 July 2010.

The Election Review Panel will review the responses received from this community input, the video recording of the meeting and the associated transcripts, and the relevant APNIC corporate documents as part of its brief. The Election Review Panel will submit its report to the APNIC Executive Council.
