I have volunteered my time to run a pre-election poll to determine *what* 
we will elect candidates for.

Rights and duties of the watchdogs are spelled out here:

http://www.icannatlarge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=309

The tentative topics of the Poll are:

-Panel size , term and mandate
-Panel and web master rules
-Panel quorum and succession rules
-Your Election Voting System preference (STV or FPP)
- basic mission statement options
-membership options
-Incorporation preference


I have asked Jan Siren , Walt Schmidt and (just now) Judyth Mermelstein to 
volunteer  as watchers.
Walt has agreed and I am waiting for Jan's agreement with the Poll watcher 
right/duties.

 Vittorio, perhaps you can chair the ALAC that way, but in a democracy it 
is not justifiable to  ignore quorum rules to the point that the remaining 
three out of the original eleven delegates can bind anybody.
There is no Panel at this moment.

The whole idea of an 11 member do-all Panel has failed and the members need 
to decide if they want to continue that way.

Only the members can speak now and I would like to ask you to help me to 
run this process as fairly as possible to *all* members, and let the last 
20  vote too.
