[ICANN-EU] deadline request of reconsideration



Dear Participants:
 
Going through ICANNs website I could not find, where, when, by whom and why the decision was made to give ICANN nominated candidates a "guaranteed" place on the list. And thereby reducing the number of member nominated candidates for Europe to 2.
 
The board decided only at the Yokohama meeting on July 16, 2000, about the election.
Thus, if I counted correctly, today is the deadline for the official request of reconsideration.
Following please find a first draft. Like always, input and comments are highly appreciated.
 
Dear Reconsideration Committee:
 
European candidates are discussing the following question.
When, by whom, where and - most importantly - why was the decision made, to give candidates nominated by ICANNs nomination committee a preferred place on the final list of candidates for election as a board member.
It could only have happened at the Yokohama meeting on July, 16, 2000. All though I did not find anything in the minutes.
 
I hereby request reconsideration of this decision and a stay on the action. The At-Large-Members were able to provide candidates for every region. There is no logical reason to give ICANNs candidates a preferred position.
One could even argue, that there is no need for ICANN nominated candidates at all.
 
ICANN is requested to modify the election process on grounds of equal rights to the member candidates and the committee nominated candidates. The members should decide by vote, who will be on the final ballot.
