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.
