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
ICANN, a preferred and guaranteed 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 the decision to give candidates, nominated by ICANN,
a guaranteed seat on the
ballot.
I also request 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.
I hereby request ICANN to modify
the election process on grounds of equal rights
for all candidates.
