[NA-Discuss] The At-Large ICANN Board Candidate Selection

[Jean Armour Polly]

The notion that a petition process supported by multiple RALOs would 
be taken as a mark of disrespect to the committee and its work is 
groundless. A committee would have to have a rarified view of itself 
and its own importance to think anything like that, and I am sure 
that isn't the case with the committee in question.

The petition process just adds to the transparent and open flavor of 
ALAC.  And perhaps it is a tad "mavericky" which is ALAC's birthright 
after all. :-)
