For a moment - I was worried. Then I realised that even though Alan is South African from the Southern African subregion - he lives in Mauritius, part of the Indian Ocean subregion.. Regardless, I think this idea is stupid. The CEO should not be in this count at all. There should not be any "Country limits" - just a maximum of two per subregion and all numbers should exclude the CEO - or it will always be unfair on the AFRINIC host subregion - the Indian Ocean subregion for now. >> > Alan Barrett >> >> >> Dear Alan, >> I got your argument about number of Directors per organisation, > country and region.
