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

Paul
I very much support your point regarding written e-mail campaigns, we should
all be judged against something more substantial than verbal statements that
quickly lose their accountability as time passes, (maybe you and I are
feeling particularly paranoid because of recent events in the UK!)

Regarding the election, from a personally selfish standpoint I don't favour
the election being held prior to Montevideo. Its purely down to the point
that I hadn't really taken in that proxy's were not applicable and I'll be
out of contact from 13th to 31st August. 

Whichever course we choose it appears somebody will be disadvantaged. The
timing of this election is far from desirable. I hope we can find a way to
stop this happening in the future.

Regards
Tony
