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,

I don't think they were physically destroyed, but not using and
updating them amounts to something similar since e-mail addresses
change so rapidly that many e-mail accounts are inactive after
a short period of time. Which reminds of the fact that ICANNatlarge.com
needs some mechanism for checking/updating its membership records
as well.
