RE: [registrars] Whois and Transfers Ballot Results

["Michael D. Palage" <michael@palage.com>]

Rob,

I believe it is in the best interest of the constituency for the following
reasons:

First, under IV.6 of our by-laws it states that "The Constituency will
endeavor to make all voting public."

Second, if you have followed the traffic on the ICANN GA list some people
have raised questions over the support for the transfers position within the
Registrar Constituency.

Third, during the registrar support of ICANN reform it was relayed to me
that providing the actual number of signatories to the document and their
representative marketshare was very valuable.

On what basis would you argue that NOT releasing the results would be in the
registrar's best interest. What do we have to hide. I think the answer is
nothing.

Best regards,

Mike

P.S. I vote on behalf of DomainPro. Someone in Bryan's old office signed for
the FedEx but misplaced the check. A new payment was sent but it was not
received by Bryan until after the voting had closed. In the past I have also
acted and voted on behalf of InfoNetworks and ATC dba NameSystem.
