I think it's important the chair find out why members of the committee aren't voting. And I mean the chair conduct the check, not staff. Is it because the information about the vote wasn't clear, were reminders sent out, do staff chase down people who haven't responded (might say that shouldn't be necessary, but actually looks like it might be...) What is the process for conducting votes. I am sure language can be a problem, I am sure Internet access can be a problem, and that we are volunteers can be a problem. But all the people recently not voting have a record of service in ALAC, ICANN and many other voluntary organizations, so what's happening? Cheryl, I hope you can investigate and help us understand and fix any problem. Best, Adam
