ICANN tried their best to make this eclections as successful and unbiased as they could. Johannes Chiang - posted on 2000-09-27 10:52:45 It depends. I feel it is a hard work, for I am facing 4 strong and respectable candidates. I have to think about what I could do and show what I will do for ICANN. It is the first time we are running an election on the Internet, we should think whether we are still playing a traditional game within certain borders or we are begining to run into an internet world without that. It's up to you to decide. If we do not bind ourselves within a border, we may think all of these in another way. For instance, there is an interesting pattern of candiates in our region, for they come from totally different working areas. It's the turn of our members to select which is the most suitable one for serving you in the direct board. By preparing this election, ICANN has made a good begining, let us run into a optimal ending. Masanobu Katoh - posted on 2000-09-26 14:19:51 The current ICANN election system is still evolving. I hope and trust that the Board Members will do a good job at providing input from a broad range of views of our stakeholders. Nevertheless, there may be a need to adjust the election system in order to ensure that the stakeholders are properly represented.
