==> You are both right, just wording differs.
The slicing into constituency was needed to preserve
a say for every important (impacted by domain names) group.
Each group got a slice of 1/7.
This weighting gives a say to ccTLD registries (a group of 239,
a very complicated structure by the way), which could be
outnumbered otherwise.
In fact, I am learning more and more, that the creation
of global space with erased borders (may look very enticing)
has many side effects, including a strong domination
of relatively small group.
