Subject:	qualifying for nomination
Message:
Surely the raison d'etre of the internet is that it is open to everyone. Why demand 'qualifications' for nominees? The process of choosing those qualifications from the point at which the people who choose are chosen through to the implementations of those choices would be completely undemocratic. What is a qualification for a nominee - should this be technical? political? commercial? Or should it be, as it appears to be now, any person with an internet connection who has a genuine interest in making sure the internet remains an open community not under the control of any one government, group of governments or commercial organization.
