[icann-europe] icannatlarge.com elections are open

[Vittorio Bertola <vb@vitaminic.net>]

Dear all,

icannatlarge.com is an independent, bottom-up effort to self-organize
and represent the public in ICANN-related matters. It currently has
855 members from 77 countries. You can read more about us in our
website or by browsing the archives of atlarge-discuss, our main
discussion list, at http://www.fitug.de/atlarge-discuss/ .

Now, as the term for the current icannatlarge.com panel approaches, we
have started a new global election for the next panel. As the
organization aims to supply for the lack of a proper At Large
Membership in ICANN, we really want this election to have good
participation and candidates from all geographical areas.

So, if you're interested in participating, this is what you can do:

- if you're not an icannatlarge.com member yet, go to
http://www.icannatlarge.com/register.php and register; all members
registering before *MONDAY, JULY 22* (GMT) will be allowed to vote;

- suggest your own nominations (or even propose yourself as a
candidate) by posting to the atlarge-discuss mailing list(*) or to the
"Second Elections" forum on the icannatlarge.com website by July 22;
all nominees that accept the nomination by July 23 at midday GMT will
be included in the ballot.

We recommend you to subscribe to the atlarge-discuss list as most of
the campaign will take place there; also, candidate information pages
will possibly be set up on the website.

As you know, the representation of public in ICANN is still under
heavy discussion, and much still must be done to defend it. This is
why I think that these elections deserve all your attention. Also,
please feel free to forward this message to any relevant list or
person (no spamming please).

Regards,

Vittorio Bertola
Current icannatlarge.com Chairman
