Dear All: I can see a repeated phenomenon every time we have elections for some charge in our region, and I want to share with you, the fact is (with some recognized exceptions): "If you became a candidate, your participation (by mails to the list) increase inversely proportional to when you were not a candidate". SO, if you have never sent an email to the list, or you sent some times but useless without importance, or empty emails. Dont worry !!! you can change that inmediately when you will became a candidate!!!. Even not being coherent. The conclusion is : Bravo, is very good thing to be a candidate ! At least for one or two weeks you can improve your participation in the list !!! Of course: this is an ironical? email . thanks for your sense of humor Carlos Dionisio Aguirre NCA GNSO Council - ICANN former ALAC member by LACRALO Abogado - Especialista en Derecho de los Negocios Sarmiento 71 - 4to. 18 Cordoba - Argentina - *54-351-424-2123 / 423-5423 http://ar.ageiadensi.org
