Dear Claude, On 16:16 07/05/03, zip said:
They believe that sending nastymails make them popular, IMHO it makes them judged, and kill our crediblity. So not to judge them I went away after having tried to help.True, with the nice gift to reroute your mails from this list to my address when you left. Took one week to kill that.
I saw that there was an ultimate chance and I came back. I even registered. I will now bring my own block to the building of this community:Noted. Abel is already nminated and seconded. But I understand you respond to is request. Thank you.
- I nominate specially Mr. Abel Towers. At the GA and on this list, as well as through some professionnal links I learned about him as a true hope for practical at-large development.
- I nominate again Mr. Hugh Blair. So Mr. Sotiropoulos will stop fighting him. I do not support some of Mr. Blair positions at the GA, but he participates with what is often after all my opinion.Hugh Blair was nominated and seconded already. The conditions that Bruce detailed is that we accept nominations from everywhere and report them in here and on icannatlarge.org. So we accepted direct mails to Polling Committee Memebres as well as posts on this list and nominations on iacannatlarge.com. I make also sur that icannatlarge.com receives all the information. The only problem we faced was that icannatlarge.com did not follow the dates we had voted and published. This has been clarified now.
Noted. I do not know her, but I support paying a tribute to China. Also we need Members with the experience of the IDN to help us through the IDNA process. I second this nomination.- I wish to nominate Carina Ren as our Member in Beijin.
- Jefsey proposed yesterday a list of nominees. I shared in most of that list. I did it for a friend from a country where you can go to jail for doing that (if you are ignorant enough about that, too bad for you).You know I know who you mean. There is a committee in France and in several European countries (may be also in the USA and Canada and I understand one in Brasil to support one of his friends, a newsman in jail). I am to rewrite a paper fro them on how the Internet might permit both people like him and his Gov to match their targets. We are not here to fight each other, butto build and maintain bridges (then they may fight over the bridges :-) .
The idea is the following: we need new blood in this community. Real blood from the real world, aside of the IDNO croonies. So we went into the list and tried to figure out who from the various parts of the world could help this list getting real. Thinking about the users and their needs and forgetting ICANN. This list is not perfect, sometimes random, but we tried our best to make it significant. The nomminees will decide if they want to be a candidate. Their communities desserve being nominated. Therefore I nominate them ALL in the open and I do hope someone else or Jefsey will second them ALL as he did for Joop's ones. I hope everyone accepts that these people from the real second, third or in one case forth world are worth the same as those from the icannatalrge.com Forum. Does someone want to challenge that?At this time I (one hour to go to 00/00 GMT) I can clarify my position. One of our "serious" Members (ICANN influent) threaten me. With a similar idea to yours. But more drastic : he nominated every member because he wanted to have self-nominations. I did not think it was wise, and at this time I think it would have created havoc. So we compromised; he accepted to nominate the people I would nominate and I would second everyone someone else would nominate.
We need to have - like at the WSIS or at the ITU - mailing lists in Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, etc. and French too.As you know, dear "non-member of france@large", this is something I fight for for a long. Why not to help @home too, and only @large >:-) ?
There is a WSIS meeting on the 12th in Paris where ISOC will present ICANN, users etc. We must be able to document that election as a multilateral ALTERNATIVE to the ICANN unilateralismI would suggest you help us with http://dot-root.com then. What you say is true in theory. But we have to make it real in demonstrating it, in testing it. This community may help demonstrating it at "people layer". We have also to demostrate it among operators (ISPs), registries (TLDs), national communities (ccTLDs, GAC, ITU), as well as at DNS and root operations layer.
