While I still have posting privileges, let me just say that I am profoundly disappointed in the results of today’s election. In the weeks before the election, the recurring theme that I heard from everyone - every single person - was that we would not go wrong whichever candidate we elected. You had two excellent candidates today and managed to elect neither. In my two years on the Council, I found that whatever challenges our respective communities faced, we, the Council, were able to work together, collaboratively, through whatever policy disagreements came our way. I encourage you to go back to your communities and share with them your own disappointment in this result and look for ways to work together in your years ahead. Bret
Thanks for posting this Bret. As a relatively new council member who is trying to work hard and act in good faith, I am mystified by what is going on. I am indeed doing as you suggest. It is entirely discouraging, with the amount of work we have on the table. Stephanie Perrin On 2015-10-21 11:19, Bret Fausett wrote:

As someone who was once on the working team elaborating the GNSO rules of operation I'm not that far surprised. I think we all take the council work serious as we do in particular with the election of our chair. The lesson to be learned from the outcome of today's election is that it has to be prepared with more diligence and better communication between the various groups including the NCAs. I hope we can achieve this on the way to the next round. Wolf-Ulrich Sent from my personal phone
