I vehemently vote no, I am opposed.

I just read the Carter Center report on the somewhat flawed voting in
ICANN and if they wholeheartedly endorse anonymous voting then so do I.

As has been pointed out the control over abuse in voting is already in
place.  The fact that there is such a small turn out for voting makes it
crystal clear there is no such abuse.

Mr. Conant has expressed unequivocally that he is opposed to the
advancement of ICANN/DNSO and it is quite clear that he intends to use
this type of data against ICANN. Off list I have given Mr. Conant an
opportunity to deny this and he has chosen not to.

The very productive thread yesterday which went through the dichotomy of
helping ICANN versus changing ICANN is not present in this motion.

I have made public not only that I voted but also how I voted. I work
for HI-TEK and my CEO did not like my comments or voting, but now he has
come to my point of view. I don't want someone who works for example
Verisign but participates in this group personally not to be able to
vote their view because of a conflict with their employer's view.

I cannot say exactly the uses to which the publication of how we voted
will be used but I ask each voter on this subject to vote against it.
Please.

Sincerely,
