May I also add the need to start considering regional diversity just like

Having been on the ICANN nomcom, I can say that ICANN's rigid geographic diversity rules have
perverse consequences. It means that the nomcom is often forced to ignore well qualified
candidiates solely because they happen to live in the wrong place.
As Ted pointed out, ISOC's board selection process gives each of the
three groups full control over who they choose as board members. If
you want to require geographic diversity, how do you plan to do that,
and what would you hav done about the 2020 election in which the chapters
voted for a petition candidate who by most measures made the board
less diverse than any of the nomcom's candidates would have?
R's,
John
