RE: [registrars] by-law ammendments


Anthony,

For the record, NameEngine's ballot was NOT sent to me.

Please see the "Membership List" spreadsheet at
http://www.icann-registrars.org/.

I did receive three ballots, since I am the listed contact )or have the
voting proxy) for the VeriSign Registrar, NameSecure, and Registrars.com.

One of the ballots is copied for reference below.

Regards,

Bruce

Registrars, that company shall be limited to one vote on Constituency voting
matters.

In Marina del Rey, a straw poll revealed that there would be a light turnout

in the beginning of February.

Nikolaj,

If you are correct, then someone has foolishly relied on the telegraphic
style of the press to make decisions which actually require finer
definitions.  VeriSign has agreed to acquire NameEngine, but all the
formalities are not yet complete.  Furthermore, NameEngine was not given any
notice about changes in balloting.  

I await a response from a responsible member of the constituency.  If
NameEngine's ballot has been sent to Bruce, the vote is improper.

Antony
