  Interesting excerpts:
" Yes, it happened: The GNSO Council ousted Alejandro Pisanty from the
   Board and voted in Michael Palage in the first round of voting."

  And further on in this interesting article:
"But wait. If you lose an election, you can always try to change the
rules afterwards. And that's what the formidable Marilyn Cade is trying
to do."

  And even more interesting and reveling:
"Note that Cade's sudden ethical epiphany came only after the
 results of the Board election were known. Members of Cade's
 Business Constituency were phoning NCUC representatives
 seeking their votes as late as 10pm, March 12. In fact, the NCUC
 representatives on the Council were elected way back on March 2,
 and seated in the GNSO on March  4. They were sent Council
ballots on March 6. They held those ballots for a week, and had
all sent in their votes before any challenge was made. The NCUC
election process was over two  weeks old and no hint of a
challenge was ever made by anyone on the Council until March
13. Odd, isn't it?"

  And than...

"Knock out the NCUC and what do you get? 21 votes instead of 24.
And Palage still gets the majority of them (12 of 21). This was
pointed out by the chair of the GNSO Council, Bruce Tonkin of
Melbourne IT. But no, ignore that: no matter what, if the wrong
guy  wins the election must be invalid."

"Cade's proposal? Eliminate the NCUC representatives, conduct the
 election again without it, and this time give her side more votes by
 re-weighting the distribution so that the remaining representatives
 of the user constituencies get half the votes instead of the 42.8%
 they have without the NCUC. Even if the shifting doesn't give
her a  majority, a new vote creates plenty of opportunities for
arm-twisting, and she wouldn't repeat the tactical error of splitting
her votes among two candidates on the first round. She might just
have to win over one vote to turn the election."
