[Chapter-delegates] ISOC-NY discusses at-large membership of ICANN

[Rudi Vansnick]

Beautiful statement Veni. Fully agree with your comment. And indeed, in 
Europe we have more culture then the US states. Even in Belgium, we have 
4 different communities (Flemish, French, German, Brussels) in a country 
not bigger then a state in the US.
