[ncdnhc-discuss] Transparency: How we voted in the ICANN Board election

[Anupam Chander]

To make it clear, when I thanked Milton for revealing the votes, I was not
endorsing his votes.  I meant only what I said.
Best, Anupam

This is not transparency.  It is paranoid conspiracy fear-mongering,
putting forward explanations for which no facts are provided.

This is called guilt by association.  Note that Milton fails to provide any
criticism of Amadeu's actual performance.  No.  The problem with Amadeu is
that he is supported by people Milton does not like.  Gosh, what a
transgression.
