Dear Patrick,
You are right ANZ origniates 17.5% of the DNSO Top Set (4 on 23 persons).

Subject: [ga] our outreach geographical priorities
Sender: owner-ga@dnso.org

During the @large election ANZ candidates complained they stand no chance 
in the same area as China; India and Japan (a 1 to 100 ratio if no more). 
They seem to have found a solution since a geographical DNSO review shows 
that our top set people are :
7 NC from North America + the GA Chair
5 NC from Europe (including Secretariat)
5 NC from Latin America
3 NC from ANZ + GA alt-Chair
1 NC from East Asia
0 NC from Japan
0 NC from Indian Sub-Continent
0 NC from Africa.
May be we went too far. The coming elections/selections should be used to 
correct that unbalance. We should focus first on China and India as Africa 
and Japan have at least an @large Director.

>Or are you talking the single Erica Roberts on the NC?

What has Erica to do with this? Is she running for Secretary ??  Please! 
She is only asking if someone would be interested, as Philip Sheppard did 
on BC...

IMHO you should remember people like Richard Tindall and Grant Forsyth ... 
Please do not hurt all you NC countrymen one shot!

 > As I understand it the NC is balanced by region.

This is what I felt, but I did not look into the bylaws. Thank you for having.


>Of the DNSO Secretariat is 100% French !!!!

I do not understand that remark.
- as you may note I suggest China, India or Africa as alternatives. Are you 
opposed?
- France, as Korea, is represented by one person. Australia by 3. ANZ by 4. 
China and India by 0.
- I nominated Joop (ANZ) for the BoD.

I do not know understand. http://www.dnso.org/constituency/ncmembers.html 
is the single URL you need.

><more sigh>
