Re: [ICANN-EU] problems to cast vote

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Marc and all,

  The ICANN board and staff are far more interested in traveling
on expenses, having lavish dinners in exotic locals with big $$
interests to gain support for their yet to be developed policies,
or policies that they cannot or will not enforce, and play the
Political pontificating game for amusement....

  Every election that ICANN or the DNSO (Supporting organization
of ICANN for DNS issues) has been a farce or been in one way
or another mishandled.  It is truly appalling!  :(
