There should be a different type of election. If we have the same sort of
thing again, there will probably be even more candidates, and certainly
more members. It is impossible for most people, maybe for anyone, to study
70 plus candidates. Also I do not like the one director for each continent
idea. It has too many of the bad things of the English political system.
Maybe an atlarge election of an atlarge council, which in turns elects
atlarge directors?

Those who read what I wrote earlier, will expect: UDRP. No:
New gTLD's is the most important issue. It really needs a lot of wisdom to
avoid it becoming an utter failure. For those who are interested why I
think so:
