I am surprised that the voting chapter delegates are not
subscribed automatically, but we have to email <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:elections@isoc.org">elections@isoc.org</a>
(I've BCC:ed them). <br>
I logged in - no such forum. Now they will probably send me
something, which I have to click, and then confirm, in order to
sign up. Extremely user-unfriendly.<br>
<br>
I've setup to receive everything by email, but obviously I am not
getting the candidates' discussions. If I were a candidate, I
would be worried that my message doesn't get to the people, who
vote for me. <br>
