Hi Leif,

I was nominated for both, but a candidate has to choose one or the
other. At the time I had a point to make about IPv6 deployment and
felt I could deliver the message more forcefully as a candidate for
the Board. As I recall, I got 73 votes, the guy with the most votes
got 209 and the guy elected with the least votes got 137.

If nominated, I'll run. If elected I'll serve. I won't nominate myself.


Regards,
Bill Herrin
