Please don't* - e-mail I get immediately, paper mail about once a week, 
mostly useless advertisements etc. - too difficult to sort out if there 
is occasionally something important.

If someone cannot handle e-mail - are they able to actively analyze the 
questions we as non-commercials, are facing in ICANN?

The poor participation of the "active" membership in the election 
requires some soul searching about the non-commercial public's interest 
and commitment to get and to be involved. The Intellectual Property 
lobby have their interest, so they act.

The 61.9% is not the result of poor technology - especially considering 
the huge "management" input by Avri.
