Re: [council] Time table for ICANN Board election this year

[ken stubbs <kstubbs@digitel.net>]

we are pushing our backs to the wall here !!!

timetable is quite difficult as many will be travelling on the 11 & 12
of september and it may be difficult to assemble

personally i believe it would be better to move the whole process up one
week and start the nominations july 16 and the election on august 28  or
september 4th -6th (remember we are only voting for 1 person and could
have 2 votes/day if we wished

comments please ...
