I have three questions for you, Mr. Hollingsworth:
1) Do you realize that you are accepting a position that is in
contradiction with the exigencies of the U.S. Government's White
Paper and in violation of ICANN's bylaws, which state that all
directors shall be elected by the membership?
2) Do you realize that, in so doing, you become an accessory to the
conspiracy to defraud the Internet community and the consumers of
Internet services that is being perpetrated by the unelected ICANN
interim (not initial!) board, ISOC, and CORE?
3) Is your vaunted policy of the "open door" for letting others in,
or for sneaking out, yourself, if charges are brought against you?
