You don’t. However, that’s not what the clause calls for. It calls for an absence of noncom members domiciled in the region of a geographically limited seat. > To be honest I saw that as a defeat to the process.

Then in which case this defeats the purpose. The clause isn’t about the candidates (though perhaps that would be better process). The clause is about the region to which the geographic seats are tied. > In which case I would then suggest that candidates from same country as one > of the nomcom should recuse him or her.
