[APAC-Discuss] RESULT: APRALO Poll on At-Large Board Director Candidates

[J William Semich]

Hello Hong:

I apologize for any confusion I may have unintentionally set in motion in my attempt to arrange for IUSN to be able to participate in the polling request for candidates for ICANN Board seat #15.

I have a question: is it possible, in the interest of transparency and public information, to at least obtain the names of the 15 (8 +7 as you cite below) APRALO members who were able to successfully participate in the poll? If so, could you please post those entities' names to the public APAC list? This would in no way violate any privacy concerns with *how* each participant voted.

Many thanks,

Bill Semich
