What I'd like to know is where has josh found the email addresses? I've 
looked on the auDA site and have only found a list of names/organisations 
- not individuals email addresses?

Where did you get the email addresses Josh?



Regards,


Jason Pay

Ron,

Thanks for your pragmatic view of things.

The reason why I haven't sought your vote is because you're in Supply 
class and cannot vote for me as a Demand class candidate.

Option (3) is pretty much what I did with the aid of the public auDA 
member list (http://www.auda.org.au/about/members-list.html), my personal email contact list and Google.

There are also a number of Demand class members who I have spoken to 
face-to-face and on the telephone.  Which leaves a small number of Demand 
class members who I cannot find any contact details for at all (eg Warner 
Village Theme Parks).


Josh
