Hi all
As I am not on the board of WMHK or any other, only personal view and insight here
and frankly I really dunno should I speak anything about my impression on candidates
as I know some of them & I don't know the others, and I have much deeper level of communication with some of them.
For myself, Phoebe, Lodewijk & Liam for quite a few years, and we do have lot of opinion exchange.
Personally, I would like to see Phoebe continue to serve on the board, as she is somebody we can really talk with.
Particio & Alice are also among these kinds of people, though I knew them for less years, though we do have constructive conversation on things.
Lodewijk also a good people to support, as he is not only somebody you can talk to, he is also keen to help people and always concern about dormant chapter, I think he might be a good addition on the board (if we can have him, also warning: I know him really well, and lot of personal interest here btw)
The other candidates, to be fair, I would really remain not to comment on them, as I dun know them in person, no opinion exchange with them.
My suggestion base on my impression that as we don't see any candidate really feels and shows his/her support (at least not enough for me) on WM Asia, and even ourselves really lack of enough opinion exchange for a joint decision, I would rather each chapter supports those who can talk with would be the best interest in the matter.

One plus point of conducting a regional effort in this election is that we stand a better chance of winning a candidate. So IMHO it is much more beneficial if we go together than individually.
>From all the asian chapters we reached four candidates that get the most attention and support. It should be easier now to reach consensus (if everyone agrees). So now, let's have a consensus on whether we want a consensus or not. :p
We could review all four candidates here and see what's good and what's not about them. I remember Butch and Eugene from WMPH asked why WMID supports Craig in Berlin and Kartika had elaborated that part earlier in this thread, but I also would like to hear why they are against Theo.
And I encourage other chapters to also give their view of the candidates. Bangladesh?
