Re: [ICANN-EU] Intermediate european body

Jeannette.
I uderstand the fire of action... :-)
Now, the point I want to make is that this ML is about
nominating a candidate which has quite no chance.
You talk about taking advantage from its momentum:
IMHO it is more efficient to use it to build something real in
a real world, with a contingency plan in case of a miracle,
than to consider the miracle is granted and endanger the
momentum. All the more if you can now attract people into
action in spite of not being elected: think, if your are they
will a tremendous support. While, if you do as if the miracle
is here, they will be dismayed even by a good outcome in
terms of votes, and they will drop the issue. Up to you.
Take care. Jefsey

PS. Nothing against Andy personnally. Nothing for either:
I just never read anything from him.
