Eric, just the thing to bring up in the middle of an election. ;-)

The Middle East is the Achilles heel of the IMHO hastily and ill-conceived
geographic diversity map. 
If  "regional Internet interests" are the raison d'etre of GD,  the Middle
East
is a region quite apart from any other part of the Global Network.
If anything, it should be separated from Africa and Asia and be a region on
its
own. (from Morocco to Afghanistan)
It needs its own representatives to bring its unique problems on Board with
ICANN.
