[ Subject: A small-effort enhancement proposal for the ICANN web site
[ 
[ 
[ Dear Mr. McLaughlin,
[ 
[ This is a message for proposing an enhancement on the withdrawal page.
[ I suggest to allow a candidate who requested to withdraw from the member-
[ nomination process to leave a ten words (or a row) optional comment to 
[ place near to the right of his/her name in the withdrawn 
[ candidates page as it 
[ currently shown on web site.
[ 
[ As far as I know , the withdrawal process is actually handled manually by 
[ the election staff and that page is static and manually built so 
[ the additional 
[ effort needed to support this enhancement is really negligible.
[ 
[ On the other side, benefits will results for both the candidate 
[ which is going 
[ to withdraw and members who were giving endorsements to him/her.
[ 
[ The candidate doesn't know who is endorsing him/her, is not sure 
[ they will 
[ get a notice (FAQ tells:.. if time allows ICANN will send... ) of 
[ the event and 
[ the most important thing ..it becomes impratical to ride all 
[ place where (s)he 
[ was campaigning for endorsements to explain reasons of withdrawal.
[ 
[ Members, who owns endorsements, will be able to figure out what happened 
[ an decide what to do next in a more informed manner. 
[ A candidate will still have the way (being the comment optional) 
[ to decide to 
[ not give reasons for withdrawal, if (s)he likes to do this.
[ 
[ I don't see technical reasons for not allowing for this comment 
[ (this is not 
[ infringing or changing member-nominations process rules,rights or other 
[ policies) and the effort for allowing this for candidates which already 
[ withdrawn by the member-nomination process is limited to a 3 
[ short e-mails.
[ 
[ I would like to kindly know your opinion about this proposal.
[ Thank in advance for your support.
[ 
[ Best Regards
[ Giorgio Griffini
