I was intrigued by Dave's comment, so I took a look at the acceptance statements of the various candidates, to see what material in those statements arguably proposed "specific constructive goals" or specific "constructive approaches to making improvements," or displayed "understanding of DNS technical details" or "ICANN's limited scope."
