Greetings Full Members of the Pacific Disability Forum (PDF)

 

Warm Pacific greetings to each one of you. We have come to the time of the
year when your organisation as a Full Member of PDF through your
appointed/elected representative to the PDF General Forum (refer to Clause
8.3 of the PDF Constitution) will need to undertake your constitutional
function of electing the Board Members of PDF (refer to Clause 10.2 of the
PDF Constitution). Since this year, 2017 is a year ending with an odd number
(7), the election will be for the positions of Co-Chairperson (male) and 4
Board members in accordance with Clause 10.3 of the PDF Constitution.

 

The PDF Board adopted the Election of Board Policy and Procedure with key
dates, election activities and scrutineer among others at their Board
Meeting held on Thursday, 18 May 2017. A critical decision made by the Board
at this meeting related to members' participation at the 2017 Board election
is that only Full Members that have paid in full their PDF membership fees
by 30 April 2017 will participate in this year's election. 

 

I therefore invite the financial Full Members of PDF that are listed below
to confirm by return email no later than 5:00pm Fiji time on Sunday, 28 May
2017 if your representative to the 2017 PDF General Forum held in Apia,
Samoa on 24 February 2017 will be your voting delegate for this year's Board
election as well? I ask this question because some of you may have decided
after the General Forum in Samoa to appoint a different representative to
the PDF General Forum, and it will be this representative that will be your
voting delegate and involved in the election of the PDF Board in 2017. When
each Full Member is confirming the name of your voting delegate, I also
request if his/her email address, telephone and fax numbers can be included
as well? I will then update your voting delegate on relevant information
regarding the 2017 Board Election.
