Dear Konstantinos, 

Thank you so much for the reply.  

I did not see your prior reply. Guess I should have checked more carefully before deciding the request had been ignored. Apologies for my laziness, I will search more completely next time.

I tend to think very few will opt for "none of the above" (maybe one or two), but you are right, people should choose between the candidates and non-of-the-above and it is good to have a substantial mandate of the membership in a candidate's favor.  BTW, speaking of substantial mandate, how many voters do we have?  I assume you had to give ICANN a list of names of those who could vote, so the count  at least may be known even if you do not publish the names list?

thanks and best regards,

avri

Anyway, I would suspect that members know that they are members of NCUC with or without the list. But, as I said, we need to change drastically the website – membership section should be linked to NCSG, charter, etc – so this can be done as soon as the new officers get in their positions.
