is what the exchange below amounts to, it should apply to all.</span></p>

<br>
I'm almost sold on your candidacy, however a few questions:<br>
<br>
Do you speak and write Japanese?<br>
<br>
What other linguistic abilities (speak & /or write) do you have?<br>
<br>
How long have you been following 'Internet Root/Icann Politics' (e.g.: since ?<br>
x-year)?<br>
<br>
What understanding of Technical Boards (Iana, Icann, RIR's etc. etc...)
do you<br>
have?<br>
<br>
What understanding of Polysciences do you possess (Political Systems i.e.:<br>
Chinese Govenmental, US Govermental, Japanese, Euro, etc...)?<br>
<br>
Thnx.</p>
