errr...what?

If Kartic is standing for election as an auDA board member, he does so 
in his personal capacity, not as representative of Melbourne IT.

The idea that he would ask let alone need approval from his MIT managers 
in regards to anything he does in this role is both absurd and clearly 
prevents him from carrying out his director's duties, a number of which 
require confidentiality, and some of which would be specifically 
detrimental to MIT.

The answers he/they has/have provided you clearly indicate that what he 
is putting forward is indeed MIT's view, not his own....oops...
