Mike - for clarification, are you now simultaneously a representative of the GNSO on the ICANN Board?

Ross,

Seeing how I am STILL the Chair of the Registrar Constituency would you mind
sending me a copy of your analysis, or for that fact sending it to the
entire list. I am not proposing throwing out the by-laws but Jim Archer has
raised the question of whether the by-laws were properly posted. If they
were not properly posted how could they be followed.

Mike

P.S. Would trying to deny the only person that expressed interest in running
for a position constitute a "witch hunt" under the criteria you described
last week?
