Re: [atlarge-discuss] My choices for a leadership team

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Jamie and all stakeholders or other interested parties,

  I agree that it would be much better if the nominees were
as country and culture diverse as possible in this upcoming
election.  Some I have noticed from countries other
than the US, have recently been nominated.  However
it they are not members as Vittorio has pointed out,
than they cannot stand for election.  This to me is
a form of gerrymandering, but there you have it none
the less.  Ergo, it seems that unless or until some
better OUTREACH is done and soon the US
bias ICANNATLARGE.COM will be pretty much
the status quo.

  Other thoughts on recent Nominees:

  As I mentioned above, yesterday and today, there has been
some/few additional nominees from countries other than the
United States.  This is a good thing.  However none of them
that I have seen thus far have been participants in any way
thus far or have only participated very little in discussion
and debate over issues that are of interest to the stakeholders/users
or members of ICANNATLARGE.COM.  As such, how
can the members therefore make an informed decision as to
whom of these very new nominees to vote for?  I myself
and not overly concerned regarding geographical diversity
in choosing a candidate to nominate or vote for.  I want
the BEST and most INFORMED candidates to be
elected.
