What we have is what we have. Don't fault those still pulling on the oars
for the desertion of those who jumped overboard! We just want to get this
puppy to shore. It's currently floundering and going nowhere. In lieu of
elected officials, despite our meager numbers, who else would you prefer to
conduct the elections?
Bruce, if you can do it, go for it. I'll gladly step back. You, Jefsey and
Eric have just as much right to organize an election as I, Judyth and
Richard. (for example)
More to the point, why object to the actions of
*anyone* trying to further the cause of holding elections?
Good question. I consider myself as one trying to further the cause of
holding meaningful elections and I see vociferous and sometimes petty and
far-fetched objections to my actions.

I respectfully (and voiciferously!) disagree. A poll of less than 10 percet
of our membership is merely an indicator, not a mandate.
Ignore that "indicator" at your (and our) peril. As far as new elections
is concerned, it is a demand.
But by all means, try to get a higher participation rate.
A mandate requires
a vote of the membership. Which is what we remaining panel members are
trying to make happen!
Good. Are you going to repeat the key question then, if the members want a
single Do-all Panel of if they want a division of Power?
Are you going to get a VOTE on what size of web Panel the members want?
I hope you will get more than 100 votes.
Why are you and a few others on this list so
dead-set against the idea of elections?
Please quote from any of my postings how I am "dead-set against the idea of
elections".
Perhaps ICANN has some
un-looked-for allies, intentionally or no, trying to keep us disorganized?
Yes I think it has.
Having a MOTION turn into a resolution when you have no quorum is one of
those actions that can bring an ICANNite to a position of officiality.
