Fair enough. I guess when I got email asking me
to respond to a document written in political language, I subconciously composed my reply using the same tone.
I too use politican as a slur - and I've always felt that the worst people to put into political office are the ones who want it the most. That's why I was stunned and shocked to read your comment. Perhaps being involved in this whole election process is corrupting me, and I should withdraw before my character collapses into a little pile of jello. When I embarked on this path, I honestly did not consider it a political venture.
Oh, and despite how my responses might have sounded, there's nothing in them that would change even if the questions were asked by NSI.
My responses were certainly not intended to "get me elected" as I doubt that will happen. (Though I won't pull a Darva Conger if it did)
Alas, I am undone! I am considered a typical politician! And to think this is the first 'political' position I've ever stood for (actually, I don't believe it should be political).
And who cares is she's a woman. (sic)
The only reason I threw this in is after reading the many comments in different forums from people who did appear to be worried about the ICANN gender gap.
Then why endorse you?
Because you don't want someone on the board whose opinions are so entrenched they're not going to listen to anyone else? Seriously, don't endorse me if you don't feel I should be on the board. I'm not an evangelical campaigner for my own cause. Endorse the person you feel is best (Adam?)
Slashdot Mirror
Did we just slashdot the endorsement process? Or has the period of apathy already started?

Candidate Status Page at ICANNNot.org (cool if only for the CGI that's behind it).
There's ICANNVote.com and ICANNWatch.org but I guess you were thinking more along the lines of broad-based independent sites, huh? ;)
