Your enthusiasm is amusing.

This is classic ICANN:  We're all going to waste time and energy and focus
to vote in online elections for completely powerless people, who will in
turn elect a completely powerless person.  None of which impacts ICANN
decision-making in the slightest.  (But it does provide good cover.)

You wrote earlier on the at large discussion list:

Are you (and your fellow "participants in the process") going to help
Esther write the "online elections!" press release?

(Is there no shame to your game?)
