I've been getting a few private messages concerning candidates - some of which are being published here with my replies.

The Asia/Pacific region is controlled by YJ, and Adam Peake. Most of the validated members from there are associated with APNIC which is associated with YJ and Adam. The purpose there is control of the voting block and eventually getting their pet project i-dns accepted by ICANN. In all cases - I have been unable to find anyone in the candidadtes list for Asia Pacific who I remember even having a vague interest in domain policy or politics. They all look like drop in candidates (we call it parachuting) to me. My only suggestion is read through the profiles and reject anyone who has an association with the following - IETF, ISOC, APNIC. I know that's not much help and appologize to you for that. regards Joe Baptista http://www.dot.god/ dot.GOD Hostmaster +1 (805) 753-8697 > I would like to ask you a favour.
