-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I've tried the election mechanism this morning at nearly the earliest possible time, and after proceeding through all the pages, and verifying my choices, suddenly the page indicated that I could not proceed at this time. First of all, that's a terrible error message. Content free. Secondly, I noticed a very long URL at the top of my page, most of which was not visible. I copied it into a text editor: https://vote.election.com/icann/error.asp?critical=yes&desc= Component%2EApplyVote+failed&errnbr=50101&errdesc=Invalid+credentials%2E +Your+member+number%2C+PIN+code+and+password+combination+is+incorrect%2E Now, that's dandy. If I'd mis-entered my credentials, I'd expect it to tell me on the first secured page, before entering and verifying my votes. Since I'm just copying and pasting, I'm a bit surprised that there was an error. Just in case, I tried it on the ICANN member pages. It still works! So, it looks like there's a problem in the verification system. I know it's Sunday, early in the morning, but that's when the Board chose to start the voting. Hopefully, somebody is checking for errors. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.1 iQCVAwUBOdcNJNm/qMj6R+sxAQFVqgP/atu4Kltv4zfveQE3+KJ1v8Uc0F4Y+Pdf GEaIFnIGApgAazuO0i+srl2uluFdckfUBo9KAaIkDgnbcpdGNfV1GqaZ31j2Lo0n NEcoGZ6f53VqBrftnCnde+3UfEaS2xVKL+Lz/xkYrJnv5LT8q2/+36TrSUT2ovK5 B3nhMtU/OV4= =vvTY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
