Comment on Geographic Diversity Policy

[Michael Sondow <msondow@iciiu.org>]

The ICIIU objects to the proposed geographic diversity policy. To
begin with, it doesn't appear to be the consensus of opinion from
the many discussions that have taken place about it on the open
lists. Then, it will, as Eric Weisberg correctly pointed out,
supersede all other criteria for At-Large board members and
effectively reduce representation of interest groups to zero.
Lastly, it appears very much like a mechanism for eliminating user
representation even from the At-Large membership.

The ICIIU requests that the board not make any decisions of its own
on geographic diversity policy, and that they leave it up to the
Internet community to decide.
