[At-Large] Fwd: Board appointments to fill 3 non-commercial seats on the new Council

[Bret Fausett]

Have you people lost your minds? Two of these people are *not at all*
representative of non-commercial interests. You either failed to do any due
diligence on these applicants or the process has been completely gamed.
Either way, real non-commercial users should be disgusted. 

> Rosemary Sinclair - Australia

Straight from her bio: "She is experienced in public policy and high-level
strategic development and in representing the interests of corporate users
of information and communications technology."

Yes, she works at a non-profit, but it's a non-profit designed to represent
the interests *of corporations* before government.

> Debra Hughes - United States

Ms. Hughes comes straight out of the IPC. She is trademark lawyer for the
American Red Cross, formerly the trademark lawyer for Wal-Mart. Here are her
current affiliations, according to her LinkedIn page: Global Intellectual
Property & Business Lawyers; International Trademark Association (INTA);
In-House Trademark Counsel Group; TTAB Law Forum.

I am sure both Ms. Sinclair and Ms. Hughes have much to offer ICANN -- just
not sitting in the "non-commercial" seats on the Names Council.
