Vittorio, Re: "appointing to the Nomcom a key employee of one of the biggest registrars" It looks like the ALAC has also seen fit to appoint to the Noncom a key employee of one the biggest registries -- Afilias. The last time that I checked, Desiree Miloshevic served as the International Affairs and Policy Advisor for Afilias, the registry operator for .info as well as being a back-end provider for other registries. Has her employment status changed? Did these candidates provide Statements of Interest that revealed their employment history? and why exactly is the ALAC electing supplier-side representatives to the NonCom? Out of the billions of users out there, couldn't they find a sufficient number of suitable "user" candidates? The issue is bigger than possible malfeasance in an election process; it makes me wonder if "popularity contests" have replaced suitable due diligence in what should have been a very serious process. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Tonight's top picks.
