Actually Danny, icannatlarge.com is going through a process to designate many future representatives and I'm sure once that process is complete, the ExCom can select one of their number to press Denise for a seat, or if not, we can submit our own recommendations to the ERC, DoC, Board, whoever. I'm not overly concerned about that aspect. 

What does concern me is that Candidates Piniero and Bertola have publicly disassociated themselves with icannatlarge.com by accepting their seats on the Committee as representatives of other organizations. 

I think the membership needs to be clear about how Candidates intend to deal with conflict of interest if elected to the icannatlarge.com ExCom and clearly this is one of them. 

Personally, I don't have any conflicts of interest, and I hate to say this, but I do not agree it is appropriate for any Member of the ICANNAtLarge.com ExCom to be sitting at a table representing another organization while this organization also needs representation at the same table. Furthermore, the "multiple hats" game doesn't work with me. 

Let me state for the record that neither of these candidates will get my vote unless I see a clear and unequivocal pledge to resign their seats on this Committee as representatives of other organizations if duly elected to the Icannatlarge.com ExCom.

Regards,
Joanna
