  You know nothing of the kind Vint.  This is just a repetitious myth that
you would like to sell everyone, that is technically a gross inaccuracy.

  The stakeholders world wide are or can be part of such a team.  The team
concept is good and can be applied by region, or country in terms of
AT-Large chapters just as it could for the DNSO GA, by chapters, or
as the ISOC has done.  So you know full well that direct representation by
country is not only possible but is being done.  Hence you word here betray

  Those determinations must have the representation of the stakeholders/users
by their vote for their choice of directors...
