In Karl's particular case, it is the candidate himself who was
engaged in "nomination stuffing".

Don't be silly. Karl's email message requesting members of the IDNO
to join the GA and support him is archived at
http://list.idno.org/archives/idno-discuss.archive.9909/0321.html
Given the irregularities in the IDNO, there is a fair probability
that the message will be removed or altered, so I would look quickly
(I will reproduce it below -- you can check my reproduction for
accuracy.)

That is *precisely* what Karl was asking people to do.

I don't know, Ellen -- what would you suggest we do if we discovered
that one of the candidates deliberately tried to rig the nomination
process?
Here is Karl's email message, pasted directly from the idno archive:

As you may or may not know I have been nominated in the DNSO GA for one
the ICANN board seats.
But I need support.
And support can only come if one has joined the GA mailing list (or is in
one of the "recognized" constituencies.)
To join the GA, send to majordomo@dnso.org with the words "subscribe ga"
in the text. There will be an email handshake you need to do to close the
loop.
And then, and only then, can you give support by:
In order to validly nominate or second me, you must send the following
information to:
icann-nominations@dnso.org
1. Full name:
2. E-mail address:
3. Organization you work for (if apply):
4. Name of the person being nominated or supported:
Of course even if nominated, I still would have to pass muster by the 19
people on the names council itself.
Thanks
