It's an interesting legal tactic: -- file a law suit. -- tie up your opponent's election for board members, leaving them without a quorum. -- just for insurance, prevent the CEO's contract from being extended (due to the aforementioned lack of a board quorum). -- go to court.  Prevent the opponent's attorney from participating, claiming he was not properly appointed. - due to the lack of a board quorum to do so.-- essentially win the case by default, since there is no opposition.  Interesting, and apparently effective.  But one has to wonder what the judge was thinking, to let it happen.  Bill Jouris  Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Wed, Sep 13, 2023 at 2:10 PM, Evan Leibovitch via At-Large<at-large@atlarge-lists.icann.org> wrote: _______________________________________________ At-Large mailing list At-Large@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/at-large At-Large Official Site: http://atlarge.icann.org _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos).

I totally agree. The judge cannot make a decision without the participation of one of the parties.
