Re: [npoc-voice] [Important] NCSG 2014 Annual Election Information - Timetable - Positions to Elect - Process

[Sam Lanfranco <lanfran@xxxxxxxx>]

All,

Klaus talked to me about standing for this position. I am willing to 
stand but would also like to hear the opinions of others, in terms of 
candidates, and pro/con re: my standing for the position.
As for the ICANN Board position, for quite a while I felt like a frog in 
a food blender. At the moment I feel like a frog in a food blender where 
the switch is temporarily on pause.
Ciao, Sam
