Election for ICANN Board seat now going on *

[Baudouin SCHOMBE]

I will not have a clear conscience if I did not express my support for Avri.
It is of outstanding quality and proven. At this stage of the process, it makes
sense that we have a person who has control of the negotiating mechanisms
within ICANN. His presence at the Board is more than reassuring. I give my full
support Avri while recognizing the competencies of other candidates.
