I am honored by the nomination by the ICANN board to the at-large membership position for North America, especially because I have been a critic of the ICANN process. I do not believe it is appropriate, however, to "campaign" for the board election until after the self-nominees have been selected. I will therefore not answer questions or give interviews about ICANN until that part of the nominating process is complete. I am sorry for any difficulty this might create.
