  Who these candidates are is really of little consequence unless the
Stakeholders/Members
have the opportunity to vote for them and review their qualifications before doing
so.

  Also Paul, yet again some of this message is directed towards Jon Postel and the
ICANN.
Why than, do you not have the message addressed to them?  However I will copy
those parties in this reply.

  Jon Postels and the ICANN supposed fait accompli is really not necessarilyall
that important if it does indeed exist.  Ira, on the other hand at least cannot
claim ignorance, as I know that I have copied him on many important points
brought out from this list.

  And why haven't any of the candidates not been posted on the IFWP site?
