Now that the DNSO Secretariat has provided a website address to monitor the 
activities at icannatlarge.com, perhaps the DNSO could also provide a forum 
for the candidates that are standing for election -- so far all that I have 
noted are candidate statements with absolutely no debate whatsoever... the 
classic "beauty contest".  

Whomever is the most "popular" candidate, by dint of prior activities within 
the ICANN Supporting Organizations will surely get the nod, even though the 
the very first principle enumerated by the former Membership Advisory 
Committeee (MAC) stated:  At-large membership should primarily represent 
those individuals and organizations that are *not* represented by the 
Supporting Organizations.

Will the At-Large ever become the home for those that are not represented 
within the SOs, or will it become nothing more than a new playground for 
those that already participate via the SO structures?   Are we doing nothing 
more than shuffling the deckchairs?

An election process devoid of all debate does not portend well for the future 
of this icannatlarge.com organization...
