[ga] Re: Re: Hackers Hijacking ICANN Elections?


Bret
Effective organising is fine, but when most of us don't speak the same
language as the organisers.....?
What I mean is, we don't know what is going on, because there is a language
barrier, so we cannot get our hands on 'real' documents and understand them.
Donnerhacke's only post anywhere that I can find in English is to the IBC
Tollfree survey, which is a (presumably deliberate) misrepresentation of his
position. Donnerhacke, Mueller-Maguhn et al are not campaigning at all
within the English/Spanish/Portuguese/French... speaking communities, only
to Germans.

ICANN has thrown us all in the same pot when we can't communicate with one
another.
Perhaps you wouldn't feel quite the same if the US candidates with the bulk
of nominations had their on-line material and web sites in Chinese, only got
any coverage in the Chinese media and only contributed to Chinese forums and
e-mail lists.
