[governance] Election process - message to list coordinators

[David Souter]

To the list coordinators:

 

I’ve not checked the election rules here, but surely we should not be having the kind of interchange below on-list.  All candidates ought to be treated equally, with the same opportunity to provide material to those who are entitled to vote.  If we are going to conduct an interview process, which is what the exchange below amounts to, it should apply to all.

Hi Yehuda,

 

interesting questions :)

 

1/ I only speak "survival kit" Japanese for daily life :)

2/ I speak and write on Arabic, French and English

3/ more than two years now.

4/  complicated question to answer, but basically  I am more focusing on ICANN  process and not especially on Internet Addressing issues. 

5/ I cannot state that I understand well the Japanese system but I start to be more sensitive to some of its particularities, I am aware about EU system because the special relationship between Tunisia and EU.

I hope that reply at least to some of your questions.

 

Thanks!

Rafik,

I'm almost sold on your candidacy, however a few questions:

Do you speak and write Japanese?

What other linguistic abilities (speak & /or write) do you have?

How long have you been following 'Internet Root/Icann Politics' (e.g.: since ?
x-year)?

What understanding of  Technical Boards (Iana, Icann, RIR's etc. etc...) do you
have?

What understanding of Polysciences do you possess (Political Systems i.e.:
Chinese Govenmental, US Govermental, Japanese, Euro, etc...)?

Thnx.
