I understand and respect your desire to not allow an apparent conflict of
interest.

I can't agree with Domain Name holders' rights controlling a user forum!
But I do agree that it is important that one of our goals be to work with
ICANN.  More inportantly, I believe that we need to open our ranks to
everyone, regardless of whether they agree with me or others in all things
or not!

To prevent any semblance of inappropriate advantage, I must decline to run
in this election.
(Also, but secondary, I am too much biased in favour of an icannatlarge
primarily focused on Individual Domain Name Holders' rights and focused on
what can be done in ICANN.)

Bret Fausett, who has now been nominated and seconded as a Panel candidate,
(see the Forum) should feel free to resign as election watchdog, like
Joanna did, and run for a Panel seat.

What I can do to help is offer my services as an election watchdog, ready
to take Bret's place if he decides to run.
This would be much more suitable, as I feel inclined to use my members'
rights as a roving volunteer watchdog anyway.

How does one get appointed as election watchdog?
