  I also concur with Vittorio on this issue in part.  However I don't think
that ICANNATLARGE.COM needs to ba on the ballot, but that
a transition period and plan to the new DN and organization name
needs to be part of that ballot for a vote of the members.  I also
agree with Joanna that using a .COM name is a bad idea for
several obvious reasons, going forward...

  I also agree, and this has been discussed to death several times now.
There are a number of different software packages that we can use,
as well as voting services that we can use to do voting with other than
the DNSO GA's arcane method/process.  This should have been job
one some time ago.  My suggestion I still believe gives us a short
and long term excellent voting/ballot system and can be obtained
for free.  See again http://www.surevote.com/
