[Chapter-delegates] 2014 Internet Society Board of Trustees Elections

[Desiree Miloshevic]

Dear Jolly

Nowhere do I see in the text bellow that you are unable to ask more questions. On the contrary, you can send them in.

Also if there are more questions that you would like to have asked post the April 4th the elections committee would consider extending the deadline and organising a live interactive session with the candidates.

I hope this answers some of your questions.

The time to fix it was earlier; those interested in "dialogue and participation" should have encouraged it in the previous months. This call is a sever breakdown in process for any conceivable set of election rules. Among other implications, those who have already voted are in an unequitative basis; but that is the least.
