&gt; Dear AP members,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; As you have seen in my previous e-mail (updates from our April call) and<br>
&gt; also from the e-mail from staff, currently The elections for APRALO leaders<br>
&gt; is open for nomination. You can view the space to see the nominations and<br>
&gt; eligibility for all.  Nominations will be accepted up until 9 May.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; This is to let you know as well that as part of nomination procedure each<br>
&gt; current leaders (Chair, Vice-Chair, ALAC Member, NomCom appointee) were<br>
&gt; asked individually if they are willing to continue and taking into<br>
&gt; consideration that they all are eligible for re-election, all of them have<br>
&gt; indicated that they are willing to stand again and are making themselves<br>
&gt; available for their current positions.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; So, this will be noted in the wiki space by staff, that all current members<br>
&gt; indicated that they would like to continue.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Meanwhile, all other nominations are welcomed.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Best<br>
&gt;<br>
