Another option would be some form of proportional representation - similar to how some governments work - the more members (eligible voters) in a subregion - the more seats they can have from their subregion - ie follow the (income) money. Statistically, subregions with higher numbers of members will have a higher degree of diversity. -- Mark James ELKINS - Posix Systems - (South) Africa [email protected] Tel: +27.128070590 Cell: +27.826010496 For fast, reliable, low cost Internet in ZA: https://ftth.posix.co.za
