I thought I heard noises in the background at various times, but wasn't sure if it was Santa chuckling, or Scrooge like noises. Now we know was Ross voting! -----Original Message----- From: Ross Rader <ross@tucows.com> Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2005 14:17:56 To:names council <council@gnso.icann.org> Subject: [council] Chair election Ballot I tried three times to cast my vote telephonically (and my proxy for Maureen). I've since called back in, but rather than interrupt the call, I just wanted to show for the record that I am in favor of the motion to elect Bruce. If it is possible to still include my vote, I would vote in favor for both myself and the proxy that I carry for Maureen. -ross Regards, Marilyn Cade
