Dear Members,
The North American community is entitled to
an
explanation of the voting results for our region that
saw a
supplier-side registrar representative elected
whose name was never once
introduced for candidacy on
the NARALO discussion list.
The minutes of
the last ALAC meeting state:
"It was decided that the RALOs would provide
their
advice and recommendations by the end of this week
(NLT 16st
September). There would then be a vote
online using instant runoff for the
candidates of each
region wherever there is more than one
candidate
proposed from a region."
The North American region advanced
three names: Eric
Dierker (confirmed), Michael Geist (at last report
was
"pending confirmation", and Evan
Leibovitch
(confirmed).
The current NARALO Wiki contains only
two names:
Hugh Dierker [USA]
current chair of the GNSO's General
Assembly
Proposed by Danny Younger
Confirmed
Evan Leibovich
[Canada]
ALS Representative, CLUE (Canada)
Proposed by Beau &
Robert
Confirmed
https://st.icann.org/naralo/index.cgi?na_nominating_committee_candidates_2007
You
will note that Ross Rader's name is not mentioned
therein, yet suddenly he
has been elected without
member ALSs and North American individual
participants
in the RALO even being aware of his candidacy.
Further,
voting results show that Eric Dierker's name
was never even voted upon,
notwithstanding the fact
that his bio/credentials were submitted for
review.
I find:
(1) the opaqueness of this process
outrageously
disturbing,
(2) the voting process that saw candidates
having
their names not included as perverse in the extreme,
(3) the result
(the election of registry and registrar
representatives instead of user
representatives) as a
vile and deplorable abuse of trust
I, and likely
the Ombudsman as well, await
an
explanation.
