(This post relates to the campaign
period, not the self-nomination period, but seems relevant to the discussion).
This is definitely a tricky problem: how to give members
access to candidate information, without subjecting them to spam. My suggestion
will be to post candidate information on the ICANN website (one page per candidate,
with background information and responses to specific questions), and to send a periodic
reminder from ICANN to the At Large members, reminding them to review the posted
information prior to voting.
Your suggestion is an addition
to that plan: to make an email mailing of candidates' position statements.
I wonder if anyone else thinks this would be a good idea?
