Milton,

I love it when people take email out of context, so helpful :-(

Answer: I would prefer a process that included elections.

The NCUC was asked to provide a representative to the nominating
committee, I volunteered and was accepted. I am participating in the
nominating committee process to the best of my ability.

The nominating committee was developed by the ICANN community, is a
well documented process, committee members agree to a code of ethics,
with a conflict of interest procedure, etc.

Thanks,

Adam
