The Suggestion by Stephen Waters for the At Large Membership to hold
elections for 9 Directors,  first noted on the At Large forum mailing list,
has now been posted to the Best Practices section of the Icannatlarge.com
Forum under "Notice # 001. Grass roots nine seat challenge".
http://www.icannatlarge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=90.

If further expressions of interest are received, (a simple yes or no will do
at this stage), a Call to Action will be issued in consultation with Mr.
Waters, together with a schedule for discussion, debate, voting and so on.
In the absence of further interest, no Call to Action will be issued and the
matter will be dropped from the BP process. Please do not remove this Notice
# from the subject line of your reply.

Best Practices are available to assist the community in uncovering consensus
(or not) on an Issue. For a more detailed explanation, please go to:-

Idea: Why don't we simply hold elections for all 9 seats? I'm sure any
refusal to seat them at the BoD meeting would look *real* nice on the
news. Perhaps a kind fellow or lady from the Commerce Department would
agree to accompany them as a gesture of goodwill?

I recognize that the situation is a little more complex than that, right
now, but just in case Lynn hasn't managed to screw up ICANN by then.

I do not think this is a good idea. Confrontation is the _last_ option,
not the one we need now. But I agree that it should be kept open.
