Re: [ga] We "decided" to defer the election of our ICANN board seats

Karl,

I disagree. To show you why, let's wait till we have a bit more progress
in nominating people and us nominated people begin publishing our
statements. 

The discussion on the merits of each candidate should be as vigorous as
the one we held in the NCDNHC for applications of membership, a quite open
discussion in its time. That is a very good opportunity to show that the
GA is not emasculated at all. I know you would feel more comfortable with
a formally set-out procedure and a vote, but now there's a challenge to
your imagination of an
engineer-lawyer-trademark-owner-theatre-group-memeber...

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
