                                  I'm not trying to pre-empt the
                                  deliberations of the nomcom here, but
                                  it will really depend on who comes
                                  forward. If all of you capable,
                                  experienced people don't offer to
                                  stand, then we would hope that other
                                  capable candidates from other regions
                                  still nominate.<br>
                                  <br>
                                </div>
                                I don't think we can make geographic
                                origin a *compulsory* criteria, but I
                                have certainly added to the call for
                                nominations in the past a line like:<br>
                                <br>

                              encouraged to apply"<br>
                              <br>
                            </div>
                            Obviously in this phase we would word it as
                            Africa, Latin or Central America.<br>
                            <br>
                          </div>
                          <div>We would certainly aim to put up the best

                                              You may recall that
                                              earlier last year we
                                              adopted a system of equal

                                              this year we are still
