Fwd: NCPH Election for BOARD SEAT 14: second round of voting results

[Nuno Garcia]

I will add something to what Nicolas said, and please correct me if I'm
wrong.

It it better to comeforth and explain what are the reasons for the swing in
the sense of vote.

For several reasons:
1. the list of the voters is public. Such a result will undoubtedly cast a
shadow on the member of such list who are in the NCSG
2. supposing the vote was done according to moral and ethical imperatives,
we / you owe it to Avri to explain the reasons why, otherwise, this will
also cast a much undeserved shadow over Avri's merits.
3. the NCSG is now confronted with the fact that it cannot trust to be
represented in the ICANN structures.

Best regards,

Nuno Garcia
