You may be right about this. This does not mean you couldn't mention
names of those who you would like to apply _now_, does it? It's just
that once it started you cannot discuss applicants with us.

Anyway, it should be possible to say what sort of people you want on
Board, GNSO council and the other positions. Are you into reappointing
old internet fathers or rather into appointing new free-internet
mothers? (This is a serious question.)

Are you after (nearly) retired telco guys or looking for women
defending online rights? (There is still a terrible shortage of
females within ICANN.)

Lawyers or techies?

I coudl go on, but I leave it to you after a good night sleep, I pray.
