Yes, perhaps we should. It is rather weird that there are 5 ICANN
candidates in Europe, leaving room for just 2 "free" names on the
ballot. Or is this not how it will work?
Strange that ICANN's nominating committee thought we would have more
difficulty to find our own candidates than Africa, where they nominated
just two, to mention only the two extremes.
