CLARIFICATION FROM THE PRESIDENT

It has come to my attention that Dr. Yogesh Joshi, one of the members of BOD, sent an email to IACA members about the President not releasing Personally Identifiable Information – Your Phone number and Your Email address.

Facts are as follows:

Federal, State, Local Election Voter Rolls do not contain Phone Number and email address. IACA bylaws do not mandate the release of PII.
All the contestants were provided with the mailing addresses to share their profiles in US mail. Both teams shared their profiles thru US mail.
Profiles of both teams were sent to all the members thru IACA newsletter. Today also, they are included below.
Both teams were given time to participate in the townhall meeting on Zoom.
Every contestant has the same advantage or disadvantage like others in every aspect of the election.
Last year, all the contestants were given PII of members. Many of you received a threatening email from a contestant about being a member of the class action lawsuit. This year, you received an email from one of the contestants claiming that “nefarious activities” are happening in IACA. That contestant was not able to substantiate the allegation and is not willing to withdraw the allegation. One of the contestants this year sent an anonymous email to members in 2016 accusing a fellow contestant.
138 Members voted for a GBM resolution not to release PII to any member/non-member.
Another contestant seemed to have sent bulk emails sharing his team flyer. If he doesn’t know you and you received his email, please complain to the Chairman and President copying the contestant.

Don’t you think that IACA should protect the private information of its members from spammers and competitors?
