Andy Mueller-Maguhn - posted on 2000-09-24 03:20:33 Speaking for nobody but myself: I agree to Jeanette´s explanation; actually I also have not only to deal with the Q´s & A´s here, but also with a lot of e-mail and requests from journalists next to the normal issues I care about, for e.g. german censorship discussion on internet, cryptorights vs. the so called lawful interception of telecommunication and the cyber crime convention. Thanks for your patience, I am working to reduce my reaction times. Olivier Muron - posted on 2000-09-22 07:47:40 Some questions may sound simple at first but require some thoughts and/or research. In some cases the so-called voter education period turns out to be also a candidates education period... ;-) Jeanette Hofmann - posted on 2000-09-21 15:02:52 Sorry, I feel indeed guilty. I have problems to catch up because I am drowning in inquiries by the press, individual users and net-based organizations. I've been working 12 to 14 hours a day since mid of August. Don't forget, most of the candidates still have a regular job that acquires some attention. So, please be patient. I am sure most of us will answer the questions sooner or later ;-) Alf Hansen - posted on 2000-09-21 14:46:57 Even if this question is not for me, I would like point at one possible answer. All candidates are busy people, myself included. I have been 10 days away from office (north on the coastal line Hurtigruta from Trondheim to Narvik, and south to Lisboa in Portugal). With my portable PC and a mobile phone connecting me to the Internet everywhere, I have my virtual office with me and can operate ICANN's q/a forum web site quite efficient when I have some spare time between everything else. If a virtual office like this is not part of your equipment, I can understand that not all questions can be answered promptly.
