No, Maher is stating that he (or someone else) will nominate Echeberria if
and when nominations are opened.  He specifically states that elections are
not yet being held.

The message you attached specifically mentions both the ACM-IGC and the
ICIIU in several places, and incorporates by reference both organizations'
supporter lists as well as ISOC's.  Anyone who reads it can easily determine
that your claims regarding its content are false.  Why do you continue to
spread easily refutable lies about others' actions?   Do you think we're
stupid?

Your message is yet another attempt on your part to manipulate the process
by deliberately mischaracterizing the actions of your political opponents as
part of your continuing pathetic attempt to set yourself up as the czar of
the NCDNHC.  It is you who should be sanctioned, not ISOC.
