<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">Greetings PDF Voting Delegates</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">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:</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span lang="EN-NZ"><span style="">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-NZ">Ms. Tewai Halatau –Vision Pacific Charitable Trust, New Zealand.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span lang="EN-NZ"><span style="">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-NZ">Ms. Ipul Powaseu, Papua New Guinea Assembly of Persons with Disabilities.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span lang="EN-NZ"><span style="">3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-NZ">Ms Sovaia Coalala – United Blind Persons of Fiji</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span lang="EN-NZ">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.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span lang="EN-NZ"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span lang="EN-NZ">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:</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in; text-indent:-.25in"><span lang="EN-NZ"><span style="">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-NZ">Mr. Josko Waqaniyasi, Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in; text-indent:-.25in"><span lang="EN-NZ"><span style="">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-NZ">Mr. Timote Solo – Tonga National Disability Congress</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in; text-indent:-.25in"><span lang="EN-NZ"><span style="">3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-NZ">Mr. Simon Dolaiaono – People with Disabilities Solomon Islands</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">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. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">PLEASE NOTE that this extended call for nominations will only be for 1 remaining Board position and male Co-Chairperson position.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">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.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ">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.</span></p>
