Here I agree with you 101 %.

agreement 102 %. 

When i read the list  of candidates i feel that there are some candidates
that are extremely good, but are more appropiates to be representatives of
the At Large community than DNSO representatives.

We have to elect people involved in the DNSO activities. It could be
participating in some constituencies, in the GA or in the WGs, but the
candidate should have an important level of compromise with the Domain Name
issues.
