RE: [council] RE: ICCAN AT-LARGE PROCESS (URGENT RESPONSE REQUESTED)
Dear Andrew,
now that we have bona fide arguments in favor of Dr. Villaseca and his
associates, I deem it most urgent to restore them their votes if at all
possible.
Whilst I agree with the procedure to filter possible registration abuses,
this case seems to be unattributable to the voters registering, since they
could not possibly have suspected that entering their addresses would
signal them as possible frauds.
What action will be the next step?
Yours,
Alejandro Pisanty
