RE: [council] Some Thoughts on the Elections Process

[Dennis Jennings <Dennis.Jennings@ucd.ie>]

Amadeu,

No - I meant exactly what I said.

If I read the rules correctly, these is not a requirement of these 
particular elections that a geographically diverse outcome is achieved.

The Names Council could decide on this, as I said.

If it does decide - and I would support such a decision, - it needs to be 
explicit, and get broad agreement so that there are no future disputes.

To make it even clearer, I propose that

"The Names Council agree that no two of the three ICANN Board Directors 
elected by the DNSO may be residents (citizens ?) of the same geographic 
region."
