Re: [atlarge-discuss] NO candidate statements on the ballots

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

Joanna and all stakeholders or other interested parties,

  Joanna, I wouldn't get too upset if I were you.  I believe that
you were one of the members, and now a candidate that suggested
that the DNSO handel the ICANNATLARGE.COM election.

  Live and learn I suppose...

  I for one was strongly AGAINST the DNSO, or DNSO
secretariat handling any election for the ICANNATLARGE.COM
members.  Now, we all get to reap the result of doing so..
