Danny:

i'll be posting a message shortly with details.

I'll just say this now - we all wear many different hats. While you  
might think of Ross as a member of one constituency, i see also have  
had the opportunity to see him as a representative of users in his  
role as a director on CIRA (.ca)

I think ross shares the values of transparency , openness and advoacy  
that both ncuc and alac share. My personal opinion is that he was the  
best known and experienced candidate proposed this year. The choice  
ultimately rests with  ALAC in consultation with NA alac reps - said  
process was followed.

I know you proposed a candidate, but i chose not to support him. My  
interest was to  to select someone from Canada as I believe that the  
candidates from Canada were more able to constructively engage both  
ALAC, the user community and nomcom. Between the two Canadian  
candidates I chose the one that, i personally felt - knew ICANN  
better and would be more strategic for users.

regards

robert
