I certainly agree that the eligibility should have been frozen before the
deadline for nominations and support statements, but the Names Council
apparently didn't anticipate this situation.  Further, I cannot find any NC
language that says a candidate for the DNSO representation to the ICANN
board actually needs to be a member of the DNSO.  In other words, the
supporters must meet the criteria I posted in my last message but
apparently the nominee is not required to do so.  Has anyone found text to
indicate otherwise?
