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

["Paul M. Kane" <Paul.Kane@reacto.com>]

Appreciating Peter's point - we have just held a Parliamentary Election here in the UK and what candidates _said_ in "person"
before the election and what they have _done_ after the election are two very different things!!

Further, I am concerned about the logistics. Some of the NC members will be travelling/touring after the Montevideo meeting
and possibly unable to take part in the vote. Proxy's are not applicable in voting for Board members.

With the risk of non-participation of NC representatives much lower if the election is before the travel to Montevideo and to
ensure a more open, transparent and genuine election,  I would prefer to see written - email - campaigns (always useful to
see if the pledges have been achieved!!) with the election concluded BEFORE Montevideo.

I would like to support Ken Stubbs/Milton Mueller proposal to conduct the election BEFORE Montevideo ... eg: 28th August

Best

Paul
