...and yet our names don't appear on the roster of those who cast votes. Don't we similarly have a right to know which unaffiliated members cast votes and which did not? It's bad enough that the NARALO rules discriminate against the unaffiliated by treating us like second-class citizens when it comes to voting matters -- is my vote, or Beau's vote (who is no longer part of an approved ALS) worth so much less than Evan's vote or John's vote just because we are not part of an ALS? In my view, everyone that participates in the NARALO (regardless of their organizational affiliations) should have an equal vote -- it's an issue of fairness. regards, Danny --- On Tue, 9/15/09, At-Large Staff <staff@atlarge.icann.org> wrote:

Dear Danny:
We refer you to the previous emails from the Chair of NARALO indicating that Beau Brendler would be casting the single vote allocated to unaffiliated NARALO users and inviting said persons to caucus with Beau with respect to how that vote would be cast.

The vote results don't appear to be recording the fact that "unaffiliated" NARALO members have cast votes. I don't see my name in the tally of voters that cast a vote, nor do I see Wendy Seltzer or other unaffilated members such as Jean Polly listed. An explanation is warranted.
