RE: [atlarge-discuss] Resignation

["Bruce Young" <Bruce@barelyadequate.info>]

Damn!  Walk away from the list for a few days and everything goes to hell!
:)

Jamie, please reconsider.  If you have substantive issues (and you must or
you wouldn't be resigning!), please give us a chance to resolve them.

As for elections, I agree with Jamie and Sotiris:  we need to have them as
closely as possible to our established deadline.

Jamie,

I am not pleased by your decision, but I am even less pleased by the 1)lack
of
response/support from Vittorio or Izumi (our Chair and Co-Chair) to your
efforts
to set up the election 2)the general lack of participation on this or the
panel
list by the Panel members.  I would recommend to the Membership that those
wishing
for an election of a long-term panel make their desires known by publicly
posting
to this list or to the web site forum.  Further, I would urge the Membership
to
carefully consider who they vote for the next time round.  I am fed up with
ICANN
insiders and hangers-round, they are typically unproductive and more of an
obstacle to our goals than any kind of benefit. [You know who you are.]

Sincerely,

Sotiris Sotiropoulos
