RE: [ICANN-EU] Re: Wait!

[R.Gaetano@iaea.org]

Hi.

The notice about the possibility of changing the vote during the process is
in the FAQ. Please see http://members.icann.org/faq.htm#change.

The FAQ aslo contains the answer to a question that I asked directly to
ICANN, the calculation of the threshold. See
http://members.icann.org/faq.htm#calculated.

I suggest we all read the FAQ.

Regards
Roberto
