candidate info

[Neal McBurnett]

Thank you, Iliya, for a very helpful and inspiring statement on your
candidacy.  I've been a member of NCUC since the beginning, but
haven't been following NCUC/ICANN well at all in recent years.
Sigh....

In looking at the other candidates, I can find helpful information in
the NCUC mailing list archives from or about everyone with the
exception of Carolina Chaves.  I also note that her affiliation seems
to be spelled incorrectly on the ballot: Alpha-Redi vs Alfa-Redi.  Or
perhaps it should really be http://latinoamericann.org?

Can we get some more information from or about Ms Chaves?

Many thanks to all who _are_ paying attention and all who are willing
to serve....
