: >GNSO would be acceptable, because capiture would be unlikely (10,000

: You say this, in spite of the fact that the one at-large election ICANN
has
: held so far showed massive dominance by two specific groups in Asia.

  There were lots of votes in Asia, and Asia elected a highly qualified
candidate.    If one wanted to avoid dominance by a single country, one
could limit the candidates elected from a single country.  Europe faced a
similiar problem with German registrations.   Europe also elected a highly
qualified candidate.

   Having seats elected by region also mitigates against one block of voters
dominating.

: It would be helpful not continue to ignore the unpleasant realities of
facts.

     It would be helpful to focus on some pleasant realities too.
Elections were help, board members were elected, and no evidence of
widespread fraud in any of the online elections so far.

    Soon we will have the second CIRA election, and people can look at what
happened the second time there.    The whois issues you raise are potential
problems in Canada.  Is there any *evidence* of any problems in the CIRA
election?


: If you are going to claim that voting is done by anything other than
domain
: names -- such as restricting voting to one vote per domain name HOLDER,
: rather than one vote per domain name -- there is no technical way to
: enforce such a rule.

     Is there any *evidence*  that the current whois policy and the practice
of how domains are actually registered would or have led to real, rather
than theoretical problems?
