AW: [ICANN-EU] Tabellenstand Nominierung / Ranks in Nomination

[SchultzKom@t-online.de (Christian Schultz Kommunalberatung)]

Dear Lutz,

I hope you are right. Because independent candidates hardly could pay the
much travels and meetings I noticed already in the emails the last days.
(By the way, these ICANN-emails begin to overstock my email entering)
And I´m convinced that we need independent candidates to represent as much
as possible the interests of all At-Large-members. Beyond the ICANN
nominated candidates are enough Concern-linked candidates.

Why do we hear nothing of these preferred candidates?


Best regards

Christian

It's bad to speculate about the end of such a election now. Every number can
go up or down(!) in the next days.

any;-).

As said in an interview yesterday and at debate today:
  - It's very possible that ICANN pays the necessary expenses.
  - Otherwise I do expect that national govenments provide money.
  - It this is not the case (they already discuss about how to do this
    for a candidate, but they can't throw it away if another one wins)
    there are commercial companies which already provided money for there
    candidates (I personally askes some leaders I know) which can be
tranfered
    to a union like Fitug in order to gain the necessary independence.
  - I can't imagine a situation where an European director has to stay at
    home solely because there is no money to travel. The world would laught.
