Please don't* - e-mail I get immediately, paper mail about once a week,
mostly useless advertisements etc. - too difficult to sort out if there
is occasionally something important.

If someone cannot handle e-mail - are they able to actively analyze the
questions we as non-commercials, are facing in ICANN?

The poor participation of the "active" membership in the election
requires some soul searching about the non-commercial public's interest
and commitment to get and to be involved. The Intellectual Property
lobby have their interest, so they act.

The 61.9% is not the result of poor technology - especially considering
the huge "management" input by Avri.
