Re: [ga] Since nobody in authority wants to announce it...



here is the total picture of ICANN BoD geographical distribution;

	Interim	DNSO	ASO	PSO	President	Total

NA	4	1	1	1	1		8
EU	3+1	1	1	2			7+1
AP	2-1	0	1	0	 		3-1
LAC	0	1	0	0			1
Africa  0	0	0	0			0

Remark:  one of Interim BoD in AP may hold citizenship of an European 
	 country.  if so, we have to add one to Europe and subtract one 
	 from AP according to the current ICANN bylaws.
