Re: [atlarge-discuss] Point of personal privilege -- I'm beingdisenfranchised by glitches in the system!

It was such a long time ago ;-) that I do not remember exactly, but I am sure
ICANN staff under Andrew and Joe's direction made sure that no record
were kept for

a) the "membership" was for one-time, election only in their legal definition,
otherwise the California corporate law could allow any member to bring
derivative action against the corporation. That was also used as a basis
in favor of indirect election.

b) for some "privacy" concern, all the voting records were simply
made without any reference to his/her personal profile ie nationality
etc, that Carter center could only inspect limited breakdowns of
information.

And thus I think they did "physically" destroyed the data.

Well, yes they kept the mailing list used for ALSC study, and I hope that
is still kept, but not the original AL election membership list, since
they solicited the participation to the new list.

Well, I am not sure if I remember these all correctly, though.
Denise or Esther may know better.

Thanks,

izumi
