NOMCOM used its best effort to attract a satisfactory number of individuals to stand as candidates including extension of the initial nomination period for the Board elections. <br>
<br>
Significant hurdles were however encountered in the implementation of the due diligence procedure, causing some delays throught the election timeline, resulting in, among others, having a shorter public comment period.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">NOMCOM apologizes for these delays and would like to request the indulgence of the community.<o:p></o:p></p>
