<P>Joop, Eric and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; I for one don't know why we are yet again going over the voting 
software awareness discussion</P>
<P>as that has been done on multipul occasions sens 02/10 alone and I did 
provide and Erics</P>
<P>request several other alternatives.&nbsp; None were 'Free' however which may 
have put a damper</P>
<P>on moving forward at that time.&nbsp; So now we are again recycling this 
discussion yet again.</P>
<P>Why?</P>

<DIV>Does anyone have a problem with this system?</DIV>

<DIV>I am keeping this transparent and open.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Please suggest to me on this list -- voting places.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I am looking for this field of info to be included in registration and to 
be public. E mail address. Name. Time on this list. Or even not on this list or 
maybe used to be on this list. Certainly any affiliation in ICANN matters will 
be welcome -- we are the GA after all. I really want some counsel members and 
some folk like NCUC or whatever the are called and then some at-smalls.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Then I want secret ballot. &nbsp;We are looking for the most open booth to 
assure transparency and public verification but we want a secure booth for how 
a vote was cast. &nbsp;I want this booth to be used and used weekly. And soon I 
want it used to replace me with someone who can claim a little more legitimacy. 
&nbsp;ICANN needs a public opinion poll on ongoing issues. We are logical to 
provide such.</DIV>
