Re: [ICANN-EU] Re: [icann-candidates] An older proposal reiterated

Well, although a mere tacit member of this list so far
I support your proposal also. I read with much
interest what Barbara wrote and think that I can
subscribe to that also. Moreover, I put a statement
pretty much along such lines in an answer to a
question put to me in relation to my candidacy
(www.freenet.de/icann). Now, I'll be curious about the
outcome of the election
and the developments after that...

cheers,
