Caroline,
Milton,

I had some personal difficulties to be on line, it is a little
in late, I am sorry.

Once I decoded the format I do not read, and completed with e-mails, 
I get 20 persons plus
Chairs: cchicoine@thompsoncoburn.com 
        mueller@syr.edu 

I have two observations:
1. shall I add you as Chair and Milton as well ? Why then 2 candidates
   from 2 constituencies when ccTLD were refused more than one seat
   (bringing people from 3 continents)?
2. the simple arithmetics is:
   16 - NA, 14 NA plus two Chairs
    3 - EU
    1 - LAC
    1 - AF
    1 - AP
3. how many representatives are from countries with Roman law 
   (as opposed to case law ?), or from countries not using case law ?

I am not a lawyer, but as mathematician I wish express here my
strongest objections as to representation of this TF. 
The terms of reference appears without problem, but the outcome does.
