Is it possible to view the candidate profiles on any site? What is the purpose of the election? Apologies, I am new. Here to follow the development of full unicode domain naming, and I didn't know any election or what powers are being bestowed, or even if there are any controversial issues within this working group. If anyone wants to proselytize to me, feel free.
