This email group is for the voting delegates listed below as well as myself as Returning Officer, Rose Wilkinson from the Association of Blind Citizens New Zealand as Scrutineer and Mereseini Bolaira my Secretary as back-up person for the Secretariat.
A. Listed below are the voting delegates representing financial Full Members of PDF and will participate in the 2017 Board election. Those Full Members that have not confirmed their voting delegate by Sunday, 28 May 2017, I have included as your voting delegate the representative of your organisation to the 2017 PDF General Forum held in Apia, Samoa on 24 February 2017.

B. For the Board election this year (2017), being a year ending with an odd number, and to comply with the PDF Constitution and Election of Board policy, the positions of Co-Chairperson (Male) and 4 Board members will be open for election. The following Board members are currently serving on these positions and whose term ends this year.
1. Co-Chairperson (Male) – Mr Kevin Hosking, Cook Islands National Disability Council
2. Board Member – Ms. Teewata Aromata, Te Toa Matoa (Kiribati)
3. Board Member – Ms Tewai Halatau, Vision Pacific Charitable Trust, New Zealand
4. Board Member – Ms. Ipul Powaseu, PNG Assembly of Disabled Persons
5. Kyle Miers, Deaf Australia
PLEASE NOTE: From the list above, board member Teewata Aromata has completed two terms in office and therefore cannot be re-elected in accordance with provisions in the PDF Constitution and Election of Board policy. However, Board Members Ipul Powaseu and Tewai Halatau have only completed one term and can therefore be re-elected for a second term. Board Member Rakesh Chand has completed his term as President of Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation and with a new President elected, he is not available for re-election. Kindly note that a term for a Board Member is 2 years.
C. The following Board members are still serving on the PDF Board and their positions will be up for election next year, 2018:
1. Co-Chair (Female) – Nelly Caleb, DPA Vanuatu
2. Board member - Mr. Kyle Miers, Deaf Australia
3. Board Member – Ms Faaolo Utumapu-Utailesolo, NOLA, Samoa
4. Board Member – Mr Richard Fournier, Collectif Handicap New Caledonia
PLEASE NOTE: No one from Australia, New Caledonia, Samoa and Vanuatu can be nominated as only 1 person from a PDF member country can be represented in the PDF Board, in accordance with the PDF Constitution and Election of Board policy.
D. As Returning Officer, I am now calling for nominations through this email group for the following positions:
1. Male Co-Chairperson
2. 3 Board Members
Only Full Members through their voting delegates listed in paragraph A above can be nominated to any of the 4 Board positions with the exception of those currently serving on the PDF board.
E. PLEASE NOTE: Some changes have been introduced for This year’s Board election as detailed below. Please read carefully before making your nomination.
1. All nominations will be made through this email group. This means that the nomination process will be done in full view of each other within the email group. Each voting Delegate will know who is being nominated and by whom, and who has seconded that nomination. This will avoid candidates being nominated more than once as in previous elections.
2. Once a nominee receives a nomination and has been seconded by another Delegate, the nominee MUST FORMALLY ACCEPT the nomination by email to this email group and attach his or her personal profile not more than 700 words to that same email.
3. Nominations will close on Friday, 09 June 2017 at 5:00pm Fiji time.
4. If necessary, voting for the vacant Board positions will start on Monday,12 June 2017 with the Returning Officer sending ballot papers by email to each voting delegate.
5. Voting will close on Friday, 30 June 2017 at 5:00pm Fiji time.
I trust the above information is clear to all of you and do not hesitate to contact me if you need additional clarification.
Sincerely
Seta
