[ICANN-EU] Questions for Jeanette Hofmann and the other candidates

[Joop Teernstra <terastra@terabytz.co.nz>]

Dear Jeanette and other candidates,

I have had to adjust to the regionality that ICANN has forced upon us all.

On the Idno -discuss list we discussed the backing of Karl Auerbach as
candidate for the Board.
Then the Asian-Pacific candidates.

Now I find that my own vote can only be used to support a European candidate. 
(I am a Dutch expatriate)

Before committing themselves to the backing of any (self-or
member-nominated) European candidate, Individual Domain Owners would like
to know the following from the European candidates:

1.How are you going to promote the representation of Individuals in the DNSO?
Are you going to actively support the admission of a separate constituency
for this group?

2. What are you proposing to do about  further balancing the DNSO's
representativeness? 

3. What specific checks do you propose on the powers of the Names Council?

4. Why don't you want to get paid? 

Being an informed ICANN At Large Director is a full time job. Who will pay
you for your livelihood?


I think that's enough to get started on.

Candidates who are serious about speaking out for the Individual DN owners
and micro-business ("mom& pop" businesses), should not hesitate to join the
idno-discuss list and copy their replies and comments there.
