[ga] ICANN Directors Nominations (follow up)



              ICANN Directors Nominations (follow up)
              =======================================

CANDIDATES:
-----------

This past Saturday 19 Aug 2000 I made a number of predictions regarding
ICANN directors nominations - which see;

http://lists.netsol.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0008&L=DOMAIN-POLICY&P=R34370

I am pleased to say that the candidates I selected have all been nominated
with the exception of two candidates in the Asia Pacific region - being
Jong Ho Kim who currently holds 587 votes and Kuo-Wei Wu with 715 votes.

I have also added Berend Schuitema from the African Region with 9 votes (7
to qualify) and Dmitri Bourkov from Europe with 536 votes.


PROJECTIONS:
------------

On Friday, 1 Sep 2000 I provided some straight line projections which
estimated the total validated/verified applications would be some 82,839
or 52% of total applications - which see;

http://lists.netsol.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0009&L=DOMAIN-POLICY&P=R82

These projections were not met - I expect they will close nominations with
some 77,000 validated applications which represents 49% of total
applications for membership (close - but no cigar).

Based on this information I can say with certainty that large blocks of
the @large are controlled - and at least a good portion are bogus
registrations.


DISCUSSION:
-----------

At this time the only region I can see with any chance of beating the
ICANN candidate selections is Europe and maybe Latin America.  This is
based on the total vote count per region refelected as a percentage of
validated members.  Europe is at 36% while Latin America squeeks by at
28%.  If candidates in those two regions "make deals" with each other and
can deliver the vote - then the probability of a win against an ICANN
selected director is possible.  I can not say the same for other regions.

There has also been considerable discussion on numerous lists with respect
to the European region being taken over by hackers.  I have found many of
these discussion somewhat humourous.  I feel Europe and the organizational
level there is not even close to a well organized campaign.  It is
"organized" but not in the professional way of political parties.  I find
many of these accusation of takeover and highjacking to be mainly bogus
and ill informed speculation.

The organizational efforts deployed in Europe should be taken as a minimum
requirement guide for future candidates.  Or in plain language - if you
sit on your ass and play with yourself you'll get a warm fuzzy feeling -
but don't expect to win this election.
