RE: [ga] GA voter registration

["Dominik Filipp" <dominik.filipp@xxxxxxxx>]

Just a short note, Joop. It might perhaps be useful to manage it as
connected to the existing GA list subscribtion system (as I guess, Jeff
is talking about too). I would personally restrict the access to the GA
voting system to only those properly subscribed to the GA forum, of
course, if it's doable at all.

The old ICANN website used to provide links to registrant constituency
building efforts, such as the IDNO. If anything, it reflected an amount
of sympathy from ICANN's side.

Perhaps someone (Roberto, Ken or Veni perhaps) could be so kind to
request ICANN's webmaster to provide a link from the gnso.icann.org
pages to http://www.pollingbooth.info/generalassemblysignup/ to aid in
the effort to provide a minimum of structure to our GA. (Suggested
anchor text: creating a voters' roll for the General Assembly)

Roberto, do you still remember how you as elected GA chair  actually
*counted* a show-of-hands-vote in  Yokohama?

One has to choose between being merely the "realistic" messenger of
hopelessness or an aide to those who wish to restore some of the former
role to the only "general assembly" left in ICANN
