[atlarge-discuss] Seconded Nominees first responses.

["J-F C. (Jefsey) Morfin" <jefsey@club-internet.fr>]

Dear Members,
here are the first reponses we received from nominees. It shows a new 
picture of the icannatlarge.org possible future. There are more "NO" than 
"YES". May be will we not have tonight a full number of candidates (the 
elected Panel will then decide about its own future). But the quality of 
the responses and their authors show there is a real capacity for serious 
work and influence by this community.

I will copy this mail to all the nominees, with the hope those who did not 
respond yet will carefully consider the good they could bring to the @large 
community in being a Panelist. And that some who said "no" might reconsider.

I will also propose a ballot question about a monitored decision makers 
oriebnted @large mailing list, with a very strict Sargeant at Arms. So we 
might end with blahblah and start working.

I thank you for your attention
jfc

------ Received Responses -------

James Love

Thierry Amoussougbo
It is a pleasure for me to contribute to the WSI.. I agree.

James Khan :
I accept the nominations for the election to the Panel of 
"icannatlarge.org", and will server the position of that office with 
dedication and loyalty if elected by mandate of the IcannatLarge Community.

Jon Weinberg:
With regret, I must decline the nomination.  I'm nonetheless
grateful to have been considered.

Jan Siren
Jefsey, I am complimented by your having included my name among some real 
luminaries, but my stated intention not to be a Panel candidate this 
election cycle remains firm.  I have a vision of what a Panelist *should* 
do for this organization, and I know that my personal resources are not 
adequate to the real task.

Marilyn Cade
I must decline the nomination with appreciation for consideration. Best 
regards, Marilyn Cade
Thank you but I decline.

DPF
Thank you but I decline.

Asaad Y Alnajjar
It is my honor to accept the nomination and I hope that I would be upto 
your expectations. Introduction page will be at 
http://www.any-dns.com/najjar.htm within the next 48 hours.

Leah Gallegos
I wish to thank you for nominating me to the panel of 
Icannatlarge.org.  Unfortunately, I must decline as I cannot devote the 
time and effort necessary to perform well for the organization.
Again, please accept my thanks for the confidence that nomination suggests.

Darryl (Dassa) Lynch
I'm still considering if I intend to get heavily involved again in such 
issues.  I'm extremely busy at the moment after a fire at my workplace. I 
will formally respond to this mid week after I've had some time to
consider the implications.  I'm currently working 70-100 hour weeks and 
this may continue for another fortnight.  I'm reluctant to commit for 
further time encroachments at the moment and if I do respond postively it 
would mean a large time/energy commitment.
I'll get back to you ASAP.

Judyth Mermelstein
With all due respect, I must decline this nomination for several reasons:
1 - I have said (more than once) that I have no desire to be part of the 
"power structure" of this group.
2 - I have offered (more than once) to do whatever I could as an ordinary 
volunteer but found that such work as I did do was mostly wasted effort on 
my part.
3 - Having reached the point where I think my energies could be better 
employed elsewhere, I have resigned as a member of this group and am 
therefore ineligible to be a candidate for its Panel.
4 - Besides, given the attitude towards me demonstrated by several of the 
other candidates, I can only assume my nomination was the work of some 
"traitor to the cause" ... of keeping this group from getting any real work 
done on behalf of anyone but those present.
It is my hope that my absence from the Panel will enable it to work 
together as a unit and ensure that this group becomes a real organization 
which can pursue whatever goals its members think appropriate. If for some 
reason the Panel decides that my experience might be of some value, I will
do what I can to respond to their request.
I also hope that the group will find organizing itself easy and its new 
Panelists committed to seeing the process through to the desired ends. I 
may be departing but I will check in at the Web site from time to time to 
see how it goes.
Thanks to all those members who have been willing to debate issues rather 
than personalities and are sincerely trying to do something of real value 
to the Internet community, and especially to those who were kind enough to 
send me off-list messages of support.
Best of luck to all,

Amadeu Abril i Abril
Thanks to those who nominated me, but I have to decline. First of all, I am 
still setaing in the Board, and I don't find that I should have any other 
ICANN-related job until such time as I wuit the Board of Directors.
Secondly, I do confess that I don't have many clear ideas about how to 
organize the at large process. To be frank, I prefer participating and 
heloping what others wil try than putting myself in an organizng role: I 
should better leavbe the leadership to those not only having the energy and 
the willingess, but also the ideas.
Thanks again.

Greg Shaw
Hi guys
Whilst I am honoured to have been nominated for the Panel position, 
circumstances do not allow me to accept the nomination at this time.
Keep up the good work.

Michael Geist
Thank you for the nomination.  I respectfully decline.  Good luck.

Hugh Blair
I accept nomination for the election of the Panel for icannatlarge.org. I'd 
be please to work toward moving this organization forward.

Dear all,
I am glad to be nominated (with support) for the ICANN@LARGE panel 
election. and I want to thank the individuals who put my name on that 
front. However, my current duties for the French national research and 
education network, together with the commitments to the Pan-European GEANT 
network will not allow me to free enough time to make a decent panelist 
work for the @large community.
I decline the nomination
Yours sincerely

Wolfgang Kleinwaecter
Dear friends,
as a member of the first panel I proposed already during the second round 
of electionss to bring fresh ideas and people to this group. So I do it 
also in the 3rd round. With regret, I must therefore decline the 
nomination.  I'm nonetheless grateful to have been considered again.
Best wishes

Esther Dyson
Thank you very much for this nomination.  However, I respectfully decline 
it.  For one, I think my mere presence provokes controversy in your 
community, and it would be better for me to stay away.  Second, 
my  involvement with the ALAC creates a conflict of time and interest.
I wish you luck regardless, and I sincerely hope you can pull together an 
organization that will be able to provide useful representation of its 
members and input to ICANN.
