<title>2014 CIRA Board of Directors Election</title>
</head>
<body text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff">
<br>
Good morning all. I am once again running for election to the CIRA
(Canadian Internet Registration Authority) board of directors. I
believe it is one of the few places left, given the intransigence of
the current government on internet policy, where one can have an impact
(albeit indirectly) on internet policy -- national and international.
The last two times I did this, I was within a few votes of winning, so
this is worth the effort. It also provides a forum to air some of the
issues which concerns us all.<br>
<br>
As usual, I will need the support of 20 CIRA members to stay on the the
slate of candidates for the actual election which starts on Sept. 10.
So, if you are already a CIRA member, please follow the directions
under "show support" below and help keep me on that list. <br>
<br>
Do let me know if you have completed this process. A bizarre change in
the rules means I can no longer keep track of how many supporters I
have.<br>
<br>
To vote in this year's elections, you must have applied for membership
before Aug. 27th. Once activated, your membership does not run out. <br>
<br>

<p>Have a preferred nominee? This is your
chance to help them get on the list of final candidates for the 2014
Board of Directors election. </p>
<p>As a .CA Member, you play an integral role
in CIRA’s governance, and, as a result, in advancing the Internet in
Canada. Showing support for <em>your</em> preferred Member nominee is
an important way to get involved in an organization that now, more than
ever, represents Canadians – and Canadian values – online.</p>
