Between all the System-Failures !
It took me a lot of tries for every step,
maybe because I was under the first who tried.

When someone waits for his letters he should be able to check his data.
Yahoo has the same problem at the moment: if your data is corrupted
from being on thier computers for several years,
you have serious stress to get in contact with someone who can fix it a
way that allows you to fix the rest.

No, as the Admin's are the "Slaves", not those who should be the roulers.
Peoples who are not fixed to their boss can easier make correct descisions.
I had a lot of "fun" with a wellknown admin, who did not even know what some network-
hardware can do, with the orgiginal test-software installed.

They are a sign, a Nation that is unable to perform an election
and that also accepts "special" peoples to pump a lot of money
into a parties portefeuille should not host Institutions
that need international acceptance.
ICANN is worth nothing from the moment sufficent peoples
decide to ignore it. Think about that.
We all know where the Net would be without HTML
and we all know were HTML was born and who paid for that,
so ICANN should be located on that side of the ocean.

Ok, the ICANN Elections were not perfromed adequate
but are still OK within the Margins.
I think the "unelected" ones of the ICANN Directors should be dumped asap,
in order to smaller the gremium and ease its work.
The US-Elections have a result smaller than the error-count,
i would not call them OK, but redo them, and this time
without Money from "special" Peoples.
Best also with new candidates, 
i would prefer a black woman or an Indian as US-President !
