<!-- DIV {margin:0px;}-->The TLDA website (TLDAINC.ORG) is now two weeks out of 
date with no public announcement of
the opening of nominations and no way for members to nominate anyone.

There are no instructions on how to nominate.

The calendar section says:

   The following TLDA events are scheduled for                             
January, 2008 - April, 2008:
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                
                                                    January 31, 2008: TLDA 
emerges as active organization.
                            February 1, 2008: TLDA Opens for official 
membership.
                            February 18, 2008: Announcement of positions up for 
election
                                      and opening of Nominations.
                            March 3, 2008: Nominations close at 12:00 noon GMT.
                            March 10, 2008: Last acceptance of nominations by 
candidates 
                                      will be not later than 12:00 noon GMT.
                            March 17, 2008: Voting commences 12:00 noon GMT for 
Spring
                                      elections and continues for 72 hour 
period.
                            March 20, 2008: Spring Election voting closes at 
12:00 noon GMT.

Thereis no public members list, no announcement of how nominations are to 
besubmitted, no board for discussion of nominations, no nothing.

And, nominations close on March 3. Let me guess: Star chamber picks nominees so 
they have control of the Board of Dirs. 

This is so disappointing. Maybe ICANNcan show you how to run such an org. As 
bad as they are, they're alotbetter than this! And I'm supposed to join this 
organization and loosemy reputation over this?

Thoms



      Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.  Try 
it now.
