I do not really want to continue flogging this dead horse as I've made my opinions abundantly clear that I, personally, do not agree with the process that was followed and I think that a review is in order.
 
Having said that, though, I am still not wanting to throw the baby out with the bathwater.  I do not think that Robert or Beau or anybody should be asked to step down nor should they be set up for personal attacks such as this.  I think that mistakes were made but lets not go into the deep end with this.  Having been on the receiving end of a tirade or two, I can tell you how demoralizing it is.  I don't think that anybody acted purposefully "evil".
 
Lets try to keep this constructive and, if anything, propose changes to the system (if possible or if desired), K?

Subject: Re: [At-Large] [NA-Discuss] Results of the Voting for ALAC NominatingCommittee 2008 Appointments

Robert Guerra on the NARALO discussion list has
revealed that "Consultations were done with key people
active on the NA list as well as those in ICANN.
Consultations were done privately on a one-to-one
basis."

These consultations with "those in ICANN" resulted in
a duly nominated and confirmed candidate being removed
from the voting roster.

I find it highly disturbing that elected members of
the NARALO feel at liberty to consult with "those in
ICANN" without engaging in any consultation with those
in the NARALO membership.

Who are "those in ICANN" that were consulted?  Are
ICANN Board members or ICANN Staff complicit in a
process to rig the ALAC elections?  Or is Robert
referring to others?  It is his wish that those
consultations remain privileged.

We deserve a full investigation into this matter.  I
remain of the view that a legitimate candidate was
treatly unfairly and that at the very least the
Ombudsman should be called in to review this matter.
