Yes, in fact that was my highest success in getting coverage from mainstream
Italian media about the campaign to register for ICANN. At that time I
hadn't even thought about candidating yet, so the article was centered on
the opportunity to sign up for At Large membership. (And however it appeared
just on the online version of the newspaper.)

If we except a couple of e-magazines, the only other online exposure in
Italy was due to an appeal by a member of the Government and some ISP,
industry and user associations, with their sites linking to ICANN, but
credits for this go to Mr. Trumpy.

I hope that they will eventually take into consideration the possibility of
interviewing a non-German candidate.
