[Chapter-delegates] PIR Advisory board

[Steve Crocker]

Carlos,

There isn't any formal rule about regional or geographic  
representation, but we do take this into consideration in the  
selection process.  The primary purpose of the board is to oversee  
the operation of the registry.  The registry is a substantial  
business with complexity and details specific to being in the domain  
name industry.  Therefore the first priority has been to make sure  
the board is well tuned for that purpose.  As I said, we looked first  
for relevant business and/or technical experience.  Within that  
constraint, we have sought the best breadth in all dimensions that we  
could find.

Steve
