Hi Alan I'm not sure if this is relevant, but Vietnam has been hit by a typhoon and is badly flooded - that might be a reason for non-participation of Hue in this vote? Jacqueline Alan Greenberg wrote:

Hi Bill I guess you don't live in the developing world. Our access isn't as guaranteed as in the North. But we are still Internet users and have a right to be able to participate as best we can until we get up to your levels of service. Jacqueline
I can understand that. But, as part of the obligation that one takes on is the obligation to perform those duties online. Of course, I had not used the internet in the islands. I had used the internet in China at a university back when the only connection for the school was dialup (for the entire school) to the great firewall in China.
I live in Canada and have a reasonably reliable 3 megabit ISDN connection. I also travel a lot, but in developed and developing countries. And I can be without e-mail for a day or three, can only download small e-mails for a week (due to speed and reliability), and have close to no web access for a week.
If access is ALWAYS that bad, then the person probably cannot meet there ICANN obligations and needs to say so.
If we want participation from people who suffer such conditions on a less regular basis, we need to make sure that we factor in such conditions when we design our work processes.
