Question: If elected, will you propose and/or support elections in year 2001 to elect four more At Large Directors, as required by the ICANN by-laws? How do you think that those four seats should be divided amongst the nations, and how many of them should go to Europe?

It has been suggested (before the bylaws were changed, that is) to elect the other 4 directors globally. I would support such a proposal - despite the fact that a global election may lead to an Asian majority on the board ;-) Winfried Schueller - posted on 2000-09-26 08:49:31 Please look at the Question below (Selection rules for At Large Director candidates...) Alf Hansen - posted on 2000-09-24 12:01:50 Before making up my mind on these issues, I would like to see the result of the study to be presented not later than at the 2nd quarterly Board meting in 2001. In general I am in favour of electing four more At Large Directors because this gives a better balance between industrial/individual interests.
