If I will decide to withdraw I will surely put reasons on my pages but even if 
doing so, ICANN is unfortunately not keeping the link to candidate profile for 
those which placed their withdrawal so this information will be available only 
to endorser who saved my page link. And ICANN will just send an email to 
endorsing membership just telling them their endorsed candidate has 
withdraw with no additional info (AFAIK). Sincerely speaking it seems a too 
much coarse way to handle the withdrawal process. 
BTW there is also still enough time before considering on a withdrawal and 
hope in the meanwhile this issue may be 'fixed'.    
As usual... the problem is in getting answers... :)
