| Re: [ga] Second for Nomination of Alex Pisanty
 What was Alejandro's position and actions on the 
expulsion of the elected representatives of the At Large from the ICANN 
Board? Is Alejandro popular with the Board and its friends 
because he supports their powerbase? Would Alejandro feel that he can represent ordinary 
internet users better than the elected Directors that ordinary internet users 
actually chose? Ken, why are you so willing to welcome in one 
person with no popular mandate, and boot out other members who actually do get 
chosen by "ordinary people"? I find your nomination just more of the same boring 
"old thinking", and likely to keep ICANN part of an old, dull process... which 
fails to truly engage with the huge constituency of ordinary internet 
users. Alejandro may be a fine fellow (if kept out of 
Internet governance) but the processes you have evolved are discredited and 
serve only to keep the same clique in power. Where is the accountability to large numbers of 
internet users? Where is the democracy in your 
processes? Why should the world take ICANN 
seriously? regards, Richard Henderson
