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.
