I do not propose to run an election for ICANN > board seats without ICANN's knowledge. Stef, I was under the impression that .ORG people wanted to vote on what company they wanted to run the IPv4 32-bit DNS .ORG Registry that Verisign has given up in a horse-trade for the, ten times larger, IPv4 32-bit DNS .COM Registry. Note the end of the Subject line says...".org reassignment"... As for Board seats, it is my impression that those will be 15, hand-selected, people, who have proven over the years to be 100% loyal to the I* society. That will make it easier for the ICANN staff and legal team to do as they please with a rubber stamp bigger than what they have now. Five of the 15 will supposedly have the endorsement of some government, but not be directly from the government. That will help to insure it is an I* society insider with no loyalty back to the government, just a one-way endorsement to fool the press and the general public. -- JF
