Re: [ga] GA Chairman election

[Kendall Dawson <kendall@obs-us.com>]

Hi Roberto,

I am also a member of the DNSO General Assembly voting registry.

I was actually suggesting that if ICANN (and the GA of the DNSO) really 
wanted the "ground-up" approach they always claim that they do -- they 
should start to hold more public elections. Too often the elections take 
place on conference calls and we read about the results later.

Is their any reason that the @Large Membership can't vote on other issues 
*besides* the Board Members? ICANN has already spent plenty of money to set 
it up, sent out the snail-mail letters and upgrade the servers to handle 
the traffic.  I think that we tend to overlook many of the resources that 
have already set up and paid for --  usually wasting time creating brand 
new resources only to be used once.

Just my opinion though.

Kendall
