Yes. This makes good sense. The withdrawal is unnecessary and voters can
still giving some sort of weight to the different candidates' opinions
expressed here.
(too bad we do not hear Mr Bourkov's voice). The silence of Andy MM is also
bad news, I'm afraid. ( I can hear the whispers of his advisers)
But all this is good for further elections.  I think the European
democratic traditions are strong enough to come up with an elected EU
@large council, which could stand as a model for the to-be-created elected
DNSO GA. 

BTW, I think it is logical that the IDNO will back those of the candidates,
who have committed themselves to the idno ideals by joining it. 

Once we are accepted as a constituency,  there will be plenty of scope for
the best and brightest to have another run at a Director's seat via the
DNSO Names Council. :-)

Please take a look at our Charter. You may be pleasantly surprised.
