ICANN Voting Suspended, US Shutout Looms By David McGuire, Newsbytes WASHINGTON, DC, U.S.A., 15 Oct 1999, 12:55 PM CST Due to a voting irregularity, the election of the third and final Domain Name Supporting Organization (DNSO) representative to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) board of directors has been postponed till Monday. But although the final vote has been delayed, early returns indicate that it is increasingly unlikely that a US Representative will be among the first three board members chosen, a source close to the election process told Newsbytes today. Indeed, the only US candidate considered to have a real shot at the final DNSO post - former Congressman Rick White - would have been dropped from contention had today's vote count been affirmed, said the source, who asked to remain anonymous. Congressional observers are holding off on commenting about the election until after the final votes are tallied, but the House Commerce Committee, which oversees ICANN, is watching the election process with mounting interest. "We are anxious to see what decisions are made," a Committee spokesperson said.
