not too good, but sometimes too busy, given the number of people we are
ultimately talking about.  *I* alone am not ICANN; it is a (growing)
collection of people, including staff, PR consultants....and of course
members.  

I didn't say you have to raise funds, but I did say that as they campaign,
candidates will be encouraging members to take an interest in issues and be
more active as members.
