Importance: High

 

Greetings PDF Voting Delegates

 

With reference to the subject of this email, and after consulting our
election Scrutineer, Ms. Rose Wilkinson and the PDF Board yesterday, I wish
to draw to your attention that I received only 3 valid nominations for the 4
vacant Board positions by close of nominations last Friday, 09 June 2017 at
5:00pm Fiji time. These valid nominations were for:

1.       Ms. Tewai Halatau -Vision Pacific Charitable Trust, New Zealand.

2.       Ms. Ipul Powaseu, Papua New Guinea Assembly of Persons with
Disabilities.

3.       Ms Sovaia Coalala - United Blind Persons of Fiji

These 3 nominations were valid as the nominated candidate was seconded by
another voting delegate)s), they accepted these nominations and provided
their candidate profile. 

 

The following nominations for Board Member positions were also received
during the nomination period but deemed invalid as the candidate were either
not seconded by another voting delegate or indicate their
acceptance/rejection of their nominations or submit their completed
candidate profile before the closing date/time for nominations:

1.       Mr. Josko Waqaniyasi, Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation

2.       Mr. Timote Solo - Tonga National Disability Congress

3.       Mr. Simon Dolaiaono - People with Disabilities Solomon Islands

 

As for the male Co-Chair position, there was only one nomination; Mr. Kyle
Miers from Deaf Australia. However, he didn't accept his nomination before
nomination deadline and therefore this nomination has been declared invalid
too. I learned from Mr Kyle Miers yesterday that he didn't receive this
particular email as it had his old email address which should not have been
used. We have rectified this matter in this particular email group/list.

 

AS we were not able to fill all vacant Board positions by end of nomination
period last Friday, the Board has approved a one-week extension to the call
for nominations which will now end on this coming Friday, 16 June 2017 at
5:00pm Fiji time. 

 

PLEASE NOTE that this extended call for nominations will only be for 1
remaining Board position and male Co-Chairperson position.

 

To assist you in determining as to who is available for nomination for these
2 positions from the current voting delegates in this email group/list, it
might be helpful for me to share that Ms. Sovaia Coalala from Fiji, Ms.
Tewai Halatau from New Zealand and Ms. Ipul Powaseu from Papua New Guinea
are most likely to be members of the new PDF Board after this election
period along with Mr. Kyle Miers from Australia, Mr. Richard Fournier from
New Caledonia, Ms. Faaolo Utumapu-Utailesolo from Samoa and female
Co-Chairperson Ms. Nelly Caleb from Vanuatu who are continuing members of
the Board.

 

THEREFORE, THE CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR 1 BOARD MEMBER POSITION AND MALE
CO-CHAIRPERSON IS NOW OPEN! DO TAKE NOTE OF THE DEADLINE THIS FRIDAY, 16
JUNE 2017 AT 5:00PM FIJI TIME. 

 

And if you are nominated by a voting delegate, and this nomination is
seconded by another voting delegate, do make sure you indicate to all voting
delegates in this email group/list that you accept this nomination and
complete the attached candidate profile form and send it to me as Returning
Officer on this same email group/list.

 

Sincerely

 

Seta
