RE: [registrars] Motion to amend voting procedures.

["Tim Ruiz" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric,

The ballot for this election has been amended yesterday so that full details
are visible and members may change their vote.

Bob's motion is to the get the ball rolling on a separate issue that will be
dealt with by a separate vote if the required number of endorsements is
received. This motion does not break the current election of a new Chair.

Tim

Bob,

There are no "two proposals" of anything. The July 03 ballot did not change
RC ballot process. Historically, the authors of three motions that appeared
on that ballot might have been smarter and eliminated two of the motions so
as to change the RC ballot process. Your proposed ballot is misleading and
should read simply "Bob wants to change the RC ballot process", some details
you think support your desire, and the existing and your proposed texts of
the controlling RC document.

I want every position of NSI (NASDEQ:NSOL), Register (NASDEQ:RCOM), TUCOWS
(NASDEC:TCOW), ... on every issue of substance that provides "input", no
matter how illusory the fiction of "input to the ICANN process" is, to be
open and on the RC record. This is a body constituted under ICANN's original
"constituency" model, nominally affecting the regulation of all issues that
come before the board of directors of a 501(c)(3) domiciled in California. 

This isn't a small town in Vermont where the bars are closed on the first
Tuesday in November, and no one talks about politics on Sunday, candidates
are too dignified to try and pursuade voters and no one breaks the law.

At this point, if Tim wants to ask someone to share the work of the ExCom,
that beats having a broken election.

Eric
