Let me say that this may be more dangerous for the geographic diversity
issue.

Two members means 1 rep for the US, 1 rep for Europe, so it makes more
difficult for AP, AF an LAC regions to get one rep.
So it is not (only) that US always will get one rep, but that other three
regions unlikely will have one.
