Great. I was talking about IP=Intellectual Property though. Can't quite
see how there would be people with a job in IP address protection.

There is more to the internet than just technical matters, important as
they are. There is more to ICANN than IP addresses. If you follow the
news, it looks like ICANN is far more active in the field of the other IP.

I will vote for a candidate who has views on the polical aspects. And
expresses them clearly. Too many candidates just tell us they have a lot
of experience and want the best. Now, if they could tell us, what the best
is, that would make things so much easier.
