In the first place, you might want to look at the legitimacy of the future
proposed ICANN Board. Apparently the ccTLD Constituency feels that sending
questions to Board Candidates by email less than 4 minutes prior to the
commencement of the meeting in which they are to deliberate on their
selection, and in the circumstances that two candidates are able to present
themselves in person, and two are not, is nevertheless, giving all
candidates an equal opportunity.

FYI - Allow me to present to the world a copy of an email sent to Board
Candidates some 2 hours prior to the ccTLD meeting in Montevideo, during
which meeting, I understand the ccTLDs were to deliberate and vote on the
selection. 

Be advised that this email presented itself in my inbox less with less than
4 minutes to spare prior to the meeting. I am outraged.
