How do you figure that? Helping ICANN to make believe that the
At-large membership actrually has some say in things, and that ICANN
is being fair and democratic, when it's not? Haven't you read the
new bylaws amendments?

Ms. Macavinta has got it wrong. The membership will elect no one.
The Council will do the electing, just as with the DNSO, and those
chosen for the board won't be the choice of the membership, just as
they weren't in the DNSO.
But in any case, since ICANN will be selecting the 5,000 it's all
the same.
