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 >--MM
